"Oogie Finds Love" by Berkeley Livingston is a humorous and adventurous novel likely written in the mid-20th century, specifically around the post-World War II era. This fictional tale follows Oogie, a character who embodies the image of a caveman, as he navigates both primitive and modern challenges in the pursuit of love, ultimately blending themes of romantic quest with comedic wrestling antics. The story delves into the contrasts between modern society and ancient times, offering a whimsical exploration of love's trials and tribulations. In the narrative, Oogie, who is actually Algernon Allerdyce, transitions from a professional wrestler to an unlikely hero after he and his rival, Ed Finster, are transported back in time to a prehistoric era. Stranded among Cro-Magnon cavemen, Oogie must use his wrestling skills and budding intellect to win battles and eventually the hand of a beautiful caveman woman named Sala. Amidst comical misunderstandings, tribal conflicts, and adapting to a new way of life, Oogie embraces his identity as a “caveman” in both a literal and metaphorical sense, discovering love, strength, and purpose in an era devoid of modern conveniences. Through his journey, the conventional notions of masculinity and relationships are humorously challenged, culminating in a celebration of love and human connection across time.
