The William Saroyan Reader by Saroyan, William

The imagination in my favorite of Saroyan's pieces drew me to this collection where I explored many stories I previously hadn't heard of--and I'm damn glad I did.

The only problem with it is that it only gives some chapters of novels, excerpts. The chapters are not even sequential. If you plan on reading Saroyan's novels, The Human Comedy and The Adventures of Wesley Jackson, then you're better off not reading bits and pieces of them first, even if Saroyan's longer works are sometimes episodic. Oct 27, Leroy Erickson rated it liked it Shelves: I looked forward to reading this one, also.

By the time I was finished, though, I had to agree with a friend of mine. I'm tired of Saroyan.
