William Saroyan as an Ethnic Armenian Writer
12:00pm 18.04.2008
On April 18, 2008, the American Corner in Yerevan hosted a very interesting lecture devoted to William Saroyan’s centennial. The lecture, entitled “William Saroyan as an Ethic Writer,” was presented by Maria Karapetyan, a 2003-2004 FLEX alumnus and 4th year student of Yerevan State Linguistic University after V. Brusov.
First, she briefly presented William Saroyan’s biography. Then, turning to Saroyan’s writings, she mentioned that it is a bright example of how cultures can influence each other to create an unprecedented blend of quality and style. Then she analyzed William Saroyan’s famous novel “My Name is Aram.”
Over 30 students, including a large group from Open Armenian University, participated in the lecture. At the end, a live discussion took place, led by the IRC Director Nerses Hayrapetyan, along with Karapetyan and the audience.
