gabkust 's review for:
The Human Comedy
by Don Freeman, Michael Farmer, William Saroyan
I'm not entirely sure how to describe this book. It's a simple American story about a small town in California, seen through the eyes of two young boys. It's about war...it's about how America is a nation of immigrants...and it's about a certain kind of innocence, found in all the Macauley boys and some adults of the story, that the author seems to treasure. I'll always remember the story of the young man who came in to rob the telegram office, and Marcus' letter to Homer about how no human being can be his enemy. It seems like Saroyan had some kind of faith in mankind that he wanted to transmit in this story. Short read.
