"The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze" is the first volume of stories published by Saroyan in 1934, gaining unanimous recognition from readers and critics. The stories, independent of each other, can be read as chapters of a great universal story about man, showing Saroyan's most plural and inexhaustible narrative dimension. The stories, sustained between the most naked realism and the most fleeting poetry, show the writer as the protagonist par excellence.
William Saroyan was an American novelist, playwright, and short story writer of Armenian descent. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1940, and in 1943 won the Academy Award for Best Story for the film The Human Comedy. When the studio rejected his original 240-page treatment, he turned it into a novel, The Human Comedy.
