Title : A Human Comedy - William Saroyan - book

Summary :

Although the Macauleys are not just another family, their daily life in the small Californian town of Ithaca during World War II is that of the entire nation. In the absence of the recently deceased father and the eldest son Marcus, who has gone to the army, Homer must ensure the family's survival by delivering telegrams home. It is often through him, this "angel of death," that the war comes to Ithaca, for he is responsible for delivering the most dreaded news... By giving an almost mythical dimension to this portrait of an American family, Saroyan manages to make this novel an authentic hymn to life. Subtle, light, overflowing with humor and fantasy, A Human Comedy is a magnificent lesson in humanism. We will quickly understand that Saroyan is not only a wonderful storyteller but also a great philosopher.
