James

James by William Saroy­an is a poignant com­ing-of-age nov­el that fol­lows the life of a young boy named James as he nav­i­gates the com­plex­i­ties of grow­ing up. Set against the back­drop of a chang­ing world, the sto­ry cap­tures his strug­gles with iden­ti­ty, fam­i­ly, and the search for mean­ing in his life. Through James’ expe­ri­ences and reflec­tions, the nov­el explores themes of love, loss, and the uni­ver­sal quest for self-dis­cov­ery.
