The Bellarosa Connection by Saul Bellow
A self-made memory expert from New Jersey recounts how a Jewish refugee he befriended was saved from the Nazis by a powerful Broadway showman, then spent years trying to offer thanks, only to be repeatedly rebuffed. Drawn into their long aftermath—from postwar America to later meetings in Florida and Israel—he grapples with the uneasy ethics of rescue, celebrity, and gratitude, and the corrosive effects of pride, humiliation, and forgetting on both the saved and the bystanders.
