Book Description
The unsent letter, the unwritten letter, the letter that begins to write itself in the mind as soon as a human language is learned is a universal experience--as natural, as inevitable, as constant and continuous as breathing itself. The battling spirit must seek to make contact with, and to reply to, those loved, those despised, those cherished, and those rejected. In the summer of 1967, in Paris, William Saroyan, aged fifty-nine, believed he might be ready to put a number of such letters into writing, at last. The letters are addressed to: The Only One; Armenak of Bitlis ; Dr. Freud, Dr. Jung, and Dr. Adler ; Hovagim Saroyan; Calouste Gulbenkian; Guy de Maupassant; The Match Girl; Prof-Kalfayan; Sammy Isaacs; Al Devarine; Samuel L. Clemens; Dikran Saroyan; Joe Gould; Miss Carmichael, Miss Thompson, Miss Brockington, Miss Clifford, Miss Chambers; Honoré de Balzac; Sam Catanzaro; Vahan Minasian; Geoffrey Faber; Robert McAlmon; Lawrence Colt; Yeghishe Charentz; Adolf Hitler; Carl Sandburg; Emory L. Ralston; Dr. Harold Fraser; Benito Mussolini; The Lion of Judah; Jacob Ahbood; Dr. Anoushavan Chomp; L. B. Mayer; Anybody. The letters speak for themselves.

Book Description
In this work, the author tells how Saroyan transformed the short story by personalizing it and by loosening the structure of the novella form. He went on to bring new life to the theater and to the telling of autobiography. Better than that of any recent drama critic, Balakian's chapters on the theater place Saroyan's plays in the larger framework of the American theater of his time and achieve the creation of a total picture of the state of the American theater of the 1930s.

Book Description
The Armenian contribution to Ottoman photography is supposedly well known, with histories documenting the famous Ottoman Armenian-run studios of the imperial capital that produced Orientalist visions for tourists and images of modernity for a domestic elite. Neglected, however, have been the practitioners of the eastern provinces where the majority of Ottoman Armenians were to be found, with the result that their role in the medium has been obscured and wider Armenian history and experience distorted. Photography in the Ottoman East was grounded in very different concerns, with the work of studios rooted in the seismic social, political and cultural shifts that reshaped the region and Armenian lives during the empire's last decades. The first study of its kind, this book examines photographic activity in three sites on the Armenian plateau: Erzurum, Harput and Van. Arguing that local photographic practices were marked by the dominant activities and movements of these places, it describes a medium bound up in educational endeavours, mass migration and revolutionary politics. The camera both responded to and became the instrument of these phenomena. Light is shone on previously unknown practitioners and, more vitally, a perspective gained on the communities that they served. The book suggests that by contemplating the ways in which photographs were made, used, circulated and seen, we might form a picture of the Ottoman Armenian world.

Book Description
Armenian-American author William Saroyan enjoyed tremendous popularity in the 1930s with his stories of immigrants and children of Fresno, California. Saroyan's short story collection The Man on the Flying Trapese (1934), his Pulitzer Prize-winning play The Time of Your Life (1940) and the story collection My name is Aram (1941) were commercial and critical successes, establishing Sarayon as a major author of that period. Harry Keyishian's aim in editing this collection of critical essays is to provide a broad selection of the best thought on Saroyan's life and writing, and to introduce several previously unpublished essays that focus more specifically on the texts themselves.
