The series of stories “My Name is Aram” is an echo of Saroyan’s childhood and youth memories, from the discoveries of a seven-year-old boy to the inner world of a seventeen-year-old. Purely Saroyan from beginning to end, these stories are filled with surprising enthusiasm, courage, and secret sadness, imbued with subtle humor, about the ridiculous people of his native small town and the proud and loving Saroyan family who confront them. The stories are translated from the second edition of the book, revised by the author.
