Maggiori informazioni sul libro
William Saroyan's most celebrated work of short fiction presents a boy's view of the American Dream. Aram Garoghlanian, a Californian born in Fresno, is part of a large, sprawling family of immigrant Armenians—a tribe of eccentric uncles, brawling cousins, and gentle women. Through these unforgettable, often hilarious characters, Aram comes to understand life, courage, and the power of dreams. Fierce Uncle Khosrove yells "Pay no attention to it" in any situation, Uncle Melik attempts to grow pomegranate trees in the desert, and angelic-looking Cousin Arak leads Aram into classroom scrapes. Aram's visions are shaped and colored by this turn-of-the-century clan. Like Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, Saroyan's brilliant short stories in My Name Is Aram work together to create a vivid picture of a time, a place, and a boy's world—a classic account of an impoverished family newly arrived in America, rich in matters of the heart.
