Join our Fiction Book Group online to discuss [The Adventures of Augie March](https://menlopark.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S76C2180104), by Saul Bellow.

The book is a coming-of-age novel that follows Augie March, a young man growing up in Chicago during the Great Depression. As Augie moves through a series of jobs, relationships, and adventures, he searches for his own identity and resists letting others determine his future.

Filled with humor, vivid characters, and philosophical reflections, the novel explores themes of freedom, ambition, self-discovery, and the pursuit of the American Dream.

Menlo Park’s Fiction Book Group meets virtually on the second Tuesday of each month.
