William Saroyan

The true literati will know who William Saroyan is and will always sniff sardonically when any of the hoi polloi asks "William Who?" But in the course of his career Bill (as his friends called him) not only wrote some of the most popular short stories and novels of his time, but picked up a Pulitzer Prize in drama and an Oscar to boot.

But lest the reader feel that the last paragraph was a low swipe at popular culture, we must say that Bill also indulged in what the cognoscenti may see as a low entertainment of the worst kind. So if anyone is still interested in reading a bit more about Bill, well then, just click here.
