Augie’s World is an engrossing tale of one man’s struggle to deal with the invisible scars of war while trying to help his family overcome a deadly threat. The book also underscores the significance of family and the life-long attachments that bind us together through our ancestral relationships. The novel is full of palpable tension, offbeat characters and hilarious incidents and highlights the Italian American experience where good food and candid conversation is a family feast served up daily.
