	Amazon.com: Adventures of Augie March, The (50th Anniv. Edition): Books: Saul Bellow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Augie is a man "in search of a worthwhile fate." After struggling at the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs as a penniless youth in Chicago, he ultimately discovers that alignment with the "axial lines" of his existence is the secret to human fulfillment.
		Augie March, an illegitimate child, with his two brothers and mother, under the strict supervision of Grandma Lausch, their tenant, grows up in Chicago and has many adventures along the way to discovering the meaning of life, his life.
		Augie March, becomes a book-thief, an eagle trainer, Trotsky's bodyguard(or nearly), and finally gets stuck on a job as a war profiteer, never aligning himself to a particular ideology, and generally `fitting in others peoples plans.' Augie is not a stereotype, angry and disillusioned, but rather more sensitive, somebody with real depth.

	FORWARD : Arts & Letters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Augie fares best in the first third of the novel (Bellow himself has remarked on how wearying his character's unalloyed spunkiness became) because his childhood years are dominated by the altogether wonderful con-person, Grandma Lausch, and later by William Einhorn, possibly the most vividly etched "cripple" in all of American literature.
		It is only when Augie is old enough to be thought of as a kept man to a North Shore matron or when his ambitious brother Simon marries into a wealthy family that Augie musters up the necessary resistance to avoid being ensnared by a harsh, destructive world.
		As for Augie, Podhoretz dared to say in print what he later claimed many of the New York intellectual crowd were thinking silently: that Augie was largely the product not of a state of being already achieved, but rather of an effort on Bellow's part to act as though he had already achieved it.

		Then came Augie March’s Chicago, hopping and pulsing with human souls of every possible variety, all of them gesticulating and shouting, demanding dinner and love and money, expounding their philosophy of life, urging its universal adoption, and generally acting as though industrial capitalism had been invented for their own personal use.

	'Augie March' returns - The Washington Times: Fiction Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Bellow wants to leave of Chicago, in "Augie March," is that of poor Jews struggling out of poverty during the Depression and getting on, well or not so well and according to their inclinations.
		What makes "Augie March" stand out is that in addition to its power and insight as a novel-of-youth, it is a novel-of-society, a panoramic, picturesque, broad canvas that is so accomplished in its use of colors and techniques that it can effortlessly pile on the characters, the scenes, the events, the plot twists, the situations.
		"Augie March" is a great big blockbuster of an American novel, taking us through the confusion and labor turmoil and politics and ideas and intimations of catastrophe and survival in the 1930s.

		It is structured around the episodic adventures of Augie March, a “larky and boisterous” modern-day picaro who is a lover of experience for its own sake and restlessly craves for “a worthwhile fate”.
		Augie echoes the poet’s declaration of “what I assume, you shall assume” when he tells us that he is “an American, Chicago born”, and he “go[es] at things as [he] has taught himself, free-style, and will make the record in [his] own way”.
		The novel moves from a time when Augie (the “by-blow of a travelling man”) is starting out in life, to a time where he emerges as an adult who is “kissed by the rocky face of clasping experience”.

	Overview: The Adventures of Augie March
		Beginning with The Adventures of Augie March, Bellow depicts a series of romantic heroes, men of sensibility and often of learning, who spend their brief fictional lives rejecting philosophical skepticism and courtship of the void.
		Unlike Joseph and Asa, Augie March is much less trapped in a masculine world, more generous in his trust in women, and generally less misanthropic.
		Augie is a new kind of American hero who still demands a certain kind of freedom, but who in late middle-age as he finishes his comic heroic account of himself and his age is still in search of his fate.

	The Library
		Hence, beginning with The Adventures of Augie March, Bellow for rest of his literary career depicts a series of romantic heroes, men of sensibility and often of learning, who spend their brief fictional lives rejecting philosophical skepticism and courtship of the void.
		The revisionist view of the world that the respective protagonists emerge with is a deep and, at times, a quasi-mystical affirmation of the transcendent value of self and existence accompanied by a clear sense of the sacredness of the social contract.
		Unlike Joseph and Asa of the first two novels, Augie March is much less trapped in a masculine world, much less racially anxious, more generous in his trust in women, and generally less misanthropic.

		Whether Augie is bounding from the "tin-tough, creaking, jazzy bazaar" of a dimestore to brooding over Chicago's "bloody-rinded Saturday gloom of wind-born ash," whether he's hearing "a regular warehouse of fine suggestions" from a mentor or taking his grandmother to a rest home where he sees America's elegy in the flesh -- ".
