the first one is Saroyan: A biography written by Barry Gifford and Lawrence Lee
The second is a memoir he wrote called: Here Comes There Goes You Know Who written by Saroyan himself.
Fun Fact: William Saroyan was awarded the Pullitzer Prize but declined the award saying that books should not be judged on commerce, i believe that this book is the same quality as the rest of my books. -
i found two articles about William Saroyan through the KISD data base:

What i think is a hero is someone who will benefit a group of people, but does so by having nothing to gain and nothing to loose.
William Saroyan fits this example because even though he enriched the population with his work his money sadly was funneled mostly into gambling. So most of the profit gained from his works was lost. Although he lived a semi comfortable life, Saroyan was known for his hot headedness or his humble hospitality or old school charm. An example in next post no more space. -
Saroyan walked into a highclass bar, when he walked inside he was seen with greasy fried prawns. As he sat down the customers in the bar started to stare at him. He turned to the customers and offered them some prawns.
