Description

Augie, the exuberant narrator-hero, is a poor Chicago boy growing up during the Depression. His neighborhood friends settle down in various chosen professions; but Augie, as particular as an aristocrat, demands a special destiny. He latches on to a wild succession of occupations, then proudly rejects each one as too limiting. It is not until he tangles with a glamorous perfectionist named Thea, a huntress with a trained eagle, that his independence is seriously threatened. Luckily, his nature (like the eagle's) breaks down under the strain. He goes on to recruit himself to even more outlandish projects, but always ducks out in time to continue improvising his unconventional career.
