Reading The Adventures of Augie March | Alexandria
Read The Adventures of Augie March by Saul Bellow. Following a scrappy Chicago hustler's wild ascent captures America's restless identity crisis - freedom brings chaos, rigid plans end in ruin. Augie's improvisational philosophy radically suggests that authentic living means embracing uncertainty, not seeking control. His refusal to settle into any fixed role prophetically speaks to our fluid, constantly-reinventing age.
