Saroyan William. One Day in the Afternoon of the World

New York: Harcourt, Brace & World, Inc., 1964. – 246 (264) p.A hectic week in the life of a popular writer, down on his luck, who returns to New York to sell his plays and to meet again with his ex-wife and children. One Day in the Afternoon of the World is a fantastic read; simple but leaves you with something to walk away with.
“One day in the afternoon of the world, glum death will come and sit in you, and when you get up to walk, you will be as glum as death, but if you're lucky, this will only make the fun better and the love greater.”
