William Saroyan

    31 de agosto de 1908 – 18 de mayo de 1981

    La obra de William Saroyan ofrece un retrato distintivo de la vida de los inmigrantes armenios en California, a menudo ambientada en Fresno, el corazón de la comunidad donde creció. Sus historias y obras de teatro profundizan en temas como la desarraigo, la identidad y la experiencia del inmigrante, capturando las alegrías y las luchas de sus personajes con calidez y profunda empatía. La escritura de Saroyan se caracteriza por su prosa vibrante y su profundo humanismo, lo que lo convierte en una voz cautivadora que explora la naturaleza multifacética del sueño americano.

    • William Saroyan, whose identity as a major American author was strongly colored by his Armenian heritage, contributed frequently to "The Armenian Review," to which he gives credit for first publishing his work. This collection, published posthumously at his request, includes ninety-seven short stories, two plays, and four poems written between 1934 and 1963 and comprises one of the literary finds of the decade.Saroyan was a restless man torn between two worlds--the Armenian past of his dead father, which he felt welling up inside him, and the American present whose opportunities and possibilities he exulted in. Editor James Tashjian has compiled a record of those three decades of conflict, most of it seen in print only by "Armenian Review" readers, that expands our appreciation of a unique talent whose energy and imagination made him a literary phenomenon.from back cover
