Existentialism is a philophical doctrine focused on the human being in face of reality that has been attracting many writers for decades. Many scholars have been discussing the Existentialism in Saul Bellow’s production. This work analysis the American author’s novel Seize the Day through a bibliographical review. Applying presupposes defended by Jean-Paul Sartre to the novel it was possible to find connections with the French thinker’s ideas though the novel lacks some density when compared to other Existentialist works.
