From the dust jacket: The Human Comedy, Saroyan’s first novel, may be the story of an American family in wartime, and specifically of Homer Macauley, the fastest messenger in San Joaquin valley. It really is a very great accomplishment. Homer operating the Two-Twenty hurdles; Homer’s old brother Marcus singing, as the troop train where he sits hurtles abroad. old-period telegraph operator Willie Grogan, with a bottle in the table drawer to fuzz the razor-sharp fact of the everflowing communications of love and wish and pain and loss of life; Spangler, with a like for the whole globe and every living issue; small Ulysses imprisoned in the bear trap in Covington’s store;
Saroyan has done a lot of things, but this individual has here done something even his oldest close friends scarcely dared to predict – a wartime novel of the house front side which succeeds in capturing, and which nowhere oversteps, the modesty of normal humans. It is a simple novel.
With the qualities of warmth, cheer, and humanity that have endeared Saroyan to his reading public, The Human Comedy abounds in unforgettable scenes.
