Description

A penniless and parentless Chicago boy growing up in the Great Depression, Augie March drifts through life latching on to a wild succession of occupations, including butler, thief, dog-washer, sailor and salesman. He is a 'born recruit', easily influenced by others who try to 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 a richly observed human variety show, a modern-day Columbus in search of reality and fulfilment.
