William Saroyan. The Human Comedy.
http://www.vimeo.com/3183111
Author's note: No one can write like William Saroyan. No one can come up with a bunch of words paraphrased and capture the simple spirit of his writings.
He is very elusive author.
The best way to do a documentary of one of his books is to pick a few sentences at random directly from one of his books and quote them exactly, ones that describe and do a lot to lay down the basic timeless setting.
The settings of his books was very close to that of John Steinbeck's Cannery Row, except that Cannery Row was on the Coast at Monterey, California, and William Saroyan's The Human Comedy is set inland, in Ithaca California, at around the same time, that being the years between 1900 and 1930.
