Editorial Reviews
Review
For sampling Saroyan's work, The New Saroyan Reader is a good place to start. It is full of exemplary short stories-sentimental but not maudlin, depictions of ordinary people caught in funny-sad situations-as well as selections from autobiographical works. -- Booklist
Pieces from various times and places, inspired jawing and mutterings, provides an appropriate balance to this biography. It shows a mellow Saroyan, an angry one, a funny one, the writer writing. Writing and breathing were the only matters about which Saroyan was not of two minds. -- California Magazine

4.0 out of 5 stars
A nice collection of a very important American writer,
By
This review is from: New Saroyan Reader: A Connoisseur's Anthology of the Writings of William Saroyan (Hardcover)
This nicely bound book will give you a highly balanced grasp of one of the most important American writers, William Saroyan - you will not only enjoy his short stories but also find out (more) about what this writer thought about his writing activities, how energetically he engaged himself with his work, his life, his death. My only regret is that the book contains a rather large number of typos, which should have been avoided had it been the editor's wish to introduce this ingenious, productive writer to those who have not read many of his works; hence the four stars. Otherwise, it is joy to read, and I highly recommend it.
