The Human Comedy began as a 1943 film script by Armenian American author William Saroyan. Saroyan wrote the story for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), but he was fired because of creative differences. He quickly turned the script into a series of interrelated nostalgic and pensive stories that follow Homer Macauley, a fourteen-year-old boy growing up fatherless during World War II. Homer’s older brother Marcus is a soldier destined to never return, so the young boy matures to become the man of the family, taking an evening job with the local telegraph office. In one of the novel’s more poignant scenes, Homer has to inform a family that a son has been killed. Homer’s siblings include a four-year-old brother named Ulysses, and some of the more powerful passages in the novel are told from his point of view.
