In 'The Adventures of Wesley Jackson,' William Saroyan introduces us to Wesley, a nineteen-year-old whose favorite song is 'Valencia.' Through his eyes, we witness an anti-war vision of the life of American troops during World War II. Wesley experiences both the brightest and darkest moments of existence, discovering that only love and fraternity can redeem us. This novel, full of wisdom, humor, and passion, confirms Saroyan as one of the great American novelists of the 20th century.
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.
