By William Saroyan

The first volume of a multi-book autobiography by Pulitzer Prize-winning author William Saroyan is the richest literary work of his career. From his life as an orphan, fledgling writer, and father, we see the emotional depth characteristic of his work.

At the top of his literary skill, Saroyan sets out to tell the story of his life in his unmistakeable voice. However, early on he realizes he is can not stick to strict chronology and ends up leaping ahead in one paragraph, making a connection that telescopes him into another time. Yet, by the end of each chapter, this master storyteller rounds things out to the approximate chronology he started with.

This book will help you get into the mind of Saroyan, the greatest Armenian American writer of his generation. This edition features 15 pages of black and white photographs.
