Inhale and Exhale is full of mindless repetition. It reveals the
"flaws of personality inflated to the nth degree." Saroyan will be
remembered mostly for championing the down and out during the
depression.

Saroyan's Little Children is unfairly criticized by the press.
His writing is fresh and alive. The communists are annoyed
because he refuses to join their cause. His taste in music encom-
passes "noisy jazz, cowboy songs and harmonica solos."

This surrealist play "tug[s] your heartstrings." It is impossible
to figure out the meaning, but it is "poignant" theatre. The acting
and directing are excellent. The performance is full of "hokum and
beauty."
