520			_aFirst published to international acclaim in 1940, My Name is Aram is a collection of semi-autobiographical stories about a boy of Armenian descent call Aram Garoghlanian set in Fresno, California. The book is novel-like in that the stories all involve the same character and are placed in a roughly chronological order, the first story taking place when Aram in 9 years old, the last when he is a young man leaving his home town for the first time. Each episode vibrates with warmth and humour, building a rich portrait of Aram's large family and of the immigrant experience in general - an utter delight of a book, as engaging to readers today as it was to those it delighted when it first appeared almost 70 years ago.
