Saroyan's free-wheeling, poignant and funny autobiographical novel deals with near stardom in Hollywood (Mike Nichols wanted him for the title role in The Graduate), his father, William Saroyan, his step-father, Walter Matthau, and a fascinating cast of characters from the world famous to the drop-outs of the psychedelic revolution. A screen adaptation of The Street, written and directed by Noam J. Christopher, can be viewed at ubu.com\/film\/saroyan.html. Here is a novel that pins down an era. -Bookpeople Aram Saroyan's Complete Minimal Poems received the William Carlos Williams Award from the Poetry Society of America. His many prose books include Genesis Angels: The Saga of Lew Welch and the Beat Generation, Artists in Trouble: New Stories, and Door to the River: Essays and Reviews from the 1960s into the Digital Age. A writer who looks deeply into himself and his own experience, confronts what he finds there with real courage and reports what he has experienced with a measure of candor that is both breathtaking and, at moments, heartbreaking. -Jonathan Kirsch, Los Angeles Times","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49642238214417,"sku":"GOR002608897","price":23.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50190780956945,"sku":"CIN0689810814G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51075959685393,"sku":"GOR010726052","price":9.5,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52817218208017,"sku":"CIN0689810814VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0689810814.jpg?v=1750783740","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/products\/nature-s-paintbrush-buch-stockdale-9780689810817","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
