Review:
The recollections of the novel's narrator, Augie, take the reader on a lengthy but engaging journey through the America of the Great Depression and, towards the end of the novel, the Second World War. Throughout the novel Augie fails to decide on a specific vocation. Whilst intelligent and well read, he lacks the specialist skills and certainty required to pursue a conventional career. Consequently, he finds employment in a number of multifarious, mostly menial, roles. Willing to turn his hand to anything, Augie finds himself, amongst other things, hitching rides across states on freezing-cold freight trains, stealing books for wealthy university students and helping to train an eagle with his then girlfriend in Mexico. The realist style of Bellow's writing makes for a lengthy but very enjoyable, engaging and, apart from the occasional references to the Old Testament and Classical Mythology, accessible novel. The introduction by Christopher Hitchens is also definitely worth reading after, or before if you want the plot spoiled further, you've finished the novel itself.
