Saroyan W., Selected Short Stories — 1975
Аннотация: One of the most prolific writers in the United States, William Saroyan is best remembered for such works as The Time of Your Life and My Heart's in the Highlands (1939), plays that reflected Saroyan's vision of life in the United States, permeated with the perspective he had on America as an immigrant of Armenian heritage. Saroyan wrote over two hundred plays in his lifetime, in addition to numerous short stories, novels, and three autobiographies. Many of his plays were never published or produced during his lifetime, although he did achieve both critical and commercial success for his work during the 1930s and 1940s. Characterized by many scholars as a maverick, Saroyan is known for the free style and intensely autobiographical elements of his works. He drew heavily on his own life experiences for the subject matter of his plays and short fiction, and his tendency to present a uniquely personal vision of humanity in his writing has led many critics to disregard his work as sentimental and superficial. Regardless, at the height of his popularity, Saroyan's work met with great success, and he won both the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize in playwriting for The Time of Your Life.
Saroyan W., Births

The family is the Macauley's--a mother, sister, and three brothers whose struggles and dreams reflect those of America's second-generation immigrants...In particular, fourteen-year-old Homer, determined to become one of the fastest telegraph messengers in the West, finds himself caught between reality and illusion as delivering his messages of wartime death, love, and money brings him face-to-face with human emotion at its most naked and raw.
