Originally published: New York : Viking Press, 1953.
Augie March is a Jewish-American boy growing up fatherless and poor in Depression-era Chicago. He seeks a special destiny, although his circumstances seem to position him for a uniquely disappointing life: his family consists of a simple-minded mother, a brother and grandmother who prove to be Machiavellian in their intentions, and an idiot youngest brother, Georgie.
