Neither a Bellow nor baller be. . .

2018 is the year that parity came to the NBA with great games every night, but Isaac Rosenfeld will still be dead of a heart attack at age 38 no matter who wins the championship. One published novel, cramped living quarters, alone and forgotten, but not forgotten, because he's mentioned in almost every book about Bellow, Kazin, Schwartz, Rahv, etc. Commentary and The Forward write about him in the 21st century. He was too short for the NBA. Poor vision. Not a Bellow, not a baller. . . but he has a biography and various mentions in others.
