Often times, howâ€" ver, the latter predicament is the more frequent. Some of the stories are quite humorous and they tend to take one‘s mind off of other, more important things; occasionally this is a good idea, and with that thought in mind one ought to read "My Name Is Aram." â€" I thought "Locoâ€" motive 38, the Ojibway," was the most refreshing as well as the most preposterous tale. There are others that are in (a way) commendable beâ€" ecause of their unfearing freshness and frankness! Indeed, I believe that Saroyan‘s unfailing frankness is one of his salient traits, and we will let that go at that. â€"In all there are fourteen short stories. â€" Each is presented attracâ€" tively because of the clever illustraâ€" tions. For some reason or another Aram Garoghlanian, the main charâ€" acter, reminds me of Saroyan; that 'il. William Saroyan as a boy. I think that_that is the aimâ€"of Saroyanâ€"in his writings. . First, to present a tharacter. _ Next, to make that charâ€" acter extremely ‘dddâ€"more so than Saroyan himself! And, finally, to exâ€" Agrerate a vivid but‘glaringly foolâ€" ith picture of an extraordinary huâ€" man being. . â€" Thursday, February 13, 1941 of Saroyan‘s other works, and havyâ€" inyg delved more jcompletely into the life of this strange man than the average reader, I can say that Saroyan has written almost an autoâ€" biography. I think that heâ€"meant it to be that in a conce manner, and, consequently, eel that he would admit th thenticity of my assumption. Saro is not a Harvard graduâ€" ?{ fe is not the kind of man who ould feel at ease in the presence of dignitaries. Rather, he would igâ€" nore them and would probably weave his way swiftly and casually to the less prominent and, amongst these, find himself perfectly at ease. In short, Saroyan is primarily interâ€" ested in the more ‘common things of life‘â€"one can sense that when readâ€" ing what Saroyanâ€"writes!â€"â€" _‘ The Pulitzer Prize Winner and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award Winner has written a new book.

The storâ€" ies appearing in "My Name Is Aram" are of some merit. Maybe â€"you can find that elusive "merit" in the pages of William Saroyan‘s latest! f * Some of these â€"odd autobiographical I don‘t know why The Book of the Month Club selected this book. Maybe it was to help alleviate the minds of its readersâ€"or confuse them! This I do know: Saroyan‘s writings tend to keep one interestâ€" ed for the simple reason that one never knows what is going to come next. Therefore, there is that roâ€" mance of the unknown about S«â€" royan‘s books. I must confess that this book amused me, it hasâ€" and it will!lâ€"am many others. 386 E.
