The Adventures of Augie March by Saul Bellow
VINTAGE PAPERBACK [1965] CREST BOOKS
Vintage paperback in very good condition. Clean, tight and still unread copy with some light wear / signs of age.
A penniless and parentless Chicago boy growing up in the Great Depression, Augie March drifts through life latching onto a wild succession of occupations, including butler, thief, dog-washer, sailor and salesman.
He is a ‘born recruit’, easily influenced by others who try and mould his destiny. Not until he tangles with the glamorous Thea, a huntress with a trained eagle, can he attempt to break free.
A modern day Everyman on an odyssey in search of reality and identity, Augie March is the star performer in Bellow’s exuberant, richly observed human variety show.
