Saroyan

Yesterday I asked the question, Who still reads William Saroyan? Well, I do. Here Comes, There Goes, You Know Who remains a favorite literary biography. Time to re-read it, in fact. I like Saroyan's ego and arrogance, his style, his flamboyant literary recklessness. He is never boring. He is an example of "the performing self," as good a literary showman as Mailer.
