Review
Obituaries turns out to be an astonishing book, a profound and even original meditation about death and our only possible answer to it: the way we live. It is also about sex, being a parent, Saroyan's Armenian memories, talks with Dickens's ghosts, Hollywood riffraff, and anything else this wise raconteur, in his inimitable way, deems worthy. Obituaries is solemn, beautiful, hilarious, raunchy, a heart-breakingly sad and funny testament and one of Saroyan's finest books. -- Publishers Weekly
Product Description
Provoked by the Variety obits column, Saroyan is at his best in this playful but often sardonic review of personalities from Busby Berkeley to Agatha Christie to Howard Hughes.
Nominated for the American Book Award.
Named one of the best books of the year by the New York Times.
