Caracteristici

Notă biografică

Saroyan (1908-1981) was an internationally renowned Armenian American writer, playwright, and humanitarian. He achieved great popularity in the thirties, forties, and fifties through his hundreds of short stories, plays, novels, memoirs, and essays. In 1939, Saroyan was the first American writer to win both the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize.

Recenzii

'William Saroyan's sprawling, elegant, elegiac, of-all-life-in-a-Frisco-honky-tonk 1939 Pulitzer Prize winner The Time of Your Life.'
'A refreshing hymn to human goodness.'
'Saroyan celebrates life in all its variegated oddity without creating anything so ordered as a plot... [His] play has a genuine love of hobo eccentricity and convinces you that it really is a wonderful world.'
'[Saroyan] anticipates one of the great themes of postwar 20th-century drama, which finds its consummation in Beckett: life as an endless process of waiting.'
'Behind the play's whimsy lurks a genuine detestation of power, money and materialism.'
