This well-loved copy of “My Name Is Aram” by William Saroyan is a testament to the enduring appeal of the author’s semi-autobiographical novel. Published in 1940, it captures the essence of the Armenian-American experience in the early 20th century through the eyes of the young protagonist, Aram Garoghlanian. Saroyan’s lyrical prose and poignant storytelling earned him critical acclaim, including the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Academy Award for Best Story. This novel, drawing from Saroyan’s own childhood in Fresno, California, offers a poignant exploration of identity, family, and the immigrant experience. Despite its well-worn exterior, this copy invites readers to immerse themselves in Saroyan’s timeless tale, a literary gem that has resonated with generations of readers.
