Story for February 20, 2021

[Stormy]

Please join us for our next chat in #readers_corner at 8:30 P.M. (EST) February 20, 2021  --  01:30  A.M. (GMT) -- for a discussion of “The Biggest Watermelon Anybody Ever Saw” By William Saroyan.

William Saroyan was hailed by Kurt Vonnegut as the “greatest of all the American minimalists” for his simple stories about childhood, the immigrant experience, and Fresno, California. Saroyan won both a Pulitzer Prize and an Academy Award. He wrote plays, novels, and short stories based on his travels across Eastern Europe and his experience of living as an Armenian immigrant in Northern California. Saroyan’s stories elicited hard-to-come-by optimism during the Great Depression, and he maintained a prolific, celebrated career until his death in 1981.
