Aram Garoghlanian was a Californian, born in Fresno on the other side of the Southern Pacific tracks. But he was also part of a large, sprawling family of immigrant Armenians--a whole tribe of eccentric uncles, brawling cousins, and gentle women. Through these unforgettable, often hilarious characters Aram comes to understand life, courage, and the power of dreams. Whether it is fierce Uncle Khosrove who yells "Pay no attention to it" in any situation, Uncle Melik, who tries to grow pomegranate trees in the desert, or angelic-looking Cousin Arak who gets Arma into classroom scrapes, Aram's visions are shaped and colored by this tum-of-the-century clan. Like Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio, William Saroyan's brilliant short stories in <i>My Name Is Aram</i> work together to create a picture of a time, a place, and a boy's world-a truly classic account of an impoverished family newly arrived in America-rich in matters of the heart. 1327106 1937 My Name Is Aram total:154|5:56|4:61|3:30|2:7|1:0| 154 628 194 13 2 0 true true Sat Dec 13 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 07 18:33:12 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 13 02:39:41 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Feb 27 18:35:52 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 13 17:50:47 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Nov 04 16:36:24 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 16:36:24 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Sep 20 23:58:11 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 23:59:29 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Nov 17 10:42:08 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 17 10:43:05 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Fri Oct 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 28 07:04:36 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 19 23:10:10 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Mar 28 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Mar 22 17:34:43 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 28 19:30:19 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Feb 28 12:36:49 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 28 12:41:17 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Jan 08 21:03:48 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 08 22:31:16 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Tue Dec 18 07:43:06 -0800 2007 Fri Jul 20 15:49:21 -0700 2007 Tue Dec 18 07:36:35 -0800 2007 4 0 false false Tue Jan 13 15:20:17 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 08 18:42:36 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Aug 03 16:37:59 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 03 16:37:59 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1994 Mon Nov 10 12:53:06 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 10 12:54:03 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Wed Dec 02 20:54:48 -0800 2009 Wed Dec 02 20:55:06 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 29 20:12:08 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 29 20:12:08 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Nov 26 07:44:28 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 26 07:44:28 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Nov 18 16:28:05 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 16:28:05 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Nov 16 03:15:29 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 03:15:29 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Nov 05 07:25:51 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 07:26:25 -0800 2009 1 5 0 false false Thu Oct 29 11:43:22 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 11:43:22 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=28308
