The Adventures of Augie March (Penguin Modern Classics)

Augie March is a penniless and parentless Chicago boy growing up during the great Depression. A 'born recruit', he drifts through life latching onto a wild succession of occupations, including Butler, thief, dog-washer, sailor and salesman, then proudly rejects each one as too limiting. Not until he tangles with the glamorous Thea, a huntress with a trained eagle, can he attempt to break free. A modern-day everyman in search of identity and fulfilment, augie is the star performer in bellow's exuberant, richly observed human variety show.
