149			<p>I learned a lot about books &#8212; more than I&#8217;d meant to &#8212; while preparing a blog post last month.  It&#8217;s a personal story, full of real highs and some real frustrations, and a few moments of honest-to-god history.  And it all ends up with a picture of a little boy waving at a train&#8230;</p>
150<p>I was thrilled when my book club finally agreed to read <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002K4Z6V2/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=B002K4Z6V2&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=destinyland-20&#038;linkId=RZC7AT5U2PJYVJJG">one of my all-time favorite novels.</A>  But could I still <em>find</em> a hardcover version of the original 1943 novel? By the end of that evening, I&#8217;d visited six different bookstores, and only <em>one</em> of them had a copy on their shelves.  But even more startling, I discovered that two of my favorite bookstores had gone out of business!</p>

166<em>After 50 years, Berkeley&#8217;s &#8220;Shakespeare &#038; Co.&#8221; <a href="http://www.berkeleyside.com/2015/06/03/shakespeare-co-closes-after-51-years-in-berkeley/">closed in June of 2015</A></em></center></p>
167<p>In the end, it was easier to just purchase the book on Amazon &#8212; especially since I was able to locate <em>both</em> editions.  (The revised 1966 Dell paperback, and the original <em>Harcourt Brace and Co.</em> hardcover from 1943).  And I was delighted that I&#8217;d even found a version with the original dust jacket&#8230;  William Saroyan had won a Pulitzer Prize just three years before he wrote <em>The Human Comedy</em>. So it felt tragic that it was so difficult to find a bookstore that would sell me a copy &#8212; and very important that I pursue this to wherever it led&#8230;</p>
168<p>I&#8217;d live with these books for the next month, revisiting its story of small-town America &#8212; and discovering <a href="http://www.beyond-black-friday.com/William_Saroyan_The_Human_Comedy_changes.htm">all the startling differences</A> between the original and revised editions.  And the very first difference I discovered was pretty substantial &#8212; <em>every chapter&#8217;s title had been changed.</em>  &#8220;All the World Will Be Jealous of Me&#8221; had become simply &#8220;At Home&#8221;, and &#8220;You Go Your Way, I&#8217;ll Go Mine&#8221; had become &#8220;Mrs. Sandoval.&#8221;  Soon I was stunned to discover that that pattern was repeating for <em>every</em> single chapter, which suggested more rich details that might be slipping away&#8230;</p>

265<p>Wait a minute &#8212; there&#8217;s two different chapters that are <em>both</em> named &#8220;Mrs. Macauley.&#8221;  (See what happens when you name chapters after their primary character?) It was fun exploring the book for its changes, both big and small, and the second difference I discovered was just one word in the first chapter. But it still seemed like it was a pretty important change&#8230;</p>
266<blockquote><p><em>The little boy turned slowly and started for home.  As he moved, he still listened to the passing of the train&#8230;and the joyous words: &#8220;Going home, boy &#8212; going back where I belong!&#8221; He stopped to think of all this, loitering beside a china-ball tree and kicking at the yellow, smelly, fallen fruit of it.  After a moment he smiled the smile of the Macauley people &#8212; the gentle, wise, secret smile which said <em>Yes</em> to all things.</em></p></blockquote>
267<p>In the revised edition, &#8220;Yes&#8221; was changed to &#8220;Hello&#8221;
267. </p>
268<p>I even discovered a new typo that was <em>introduced</em> in the revised edition. (Unless &#8220;indredible&#8221; is a word.)  But more importantly, in chapter three, they&#8217;ve trimmed the conversation where the manager of the telegraph office asks his 14-year-old messenger about what future he&#8217;s mapped out for himself.  &#8220;Well&#8230; I don&#8217;t know for sure, but I guess I&#8217;d like to be somebody some day.  Maybe a composer or somebody like that &#8212; some day.&#8221;</p>
269<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;That&#8217;s fine,&#8221; Spangler said, &#8220;and this is the place to start. Music all around you &#8212; real music &#8212; straight from the world &#8212; straight from the hearts of people.  Hear those telegraph keys? Beautiful music.&#8221;</p>
270<p>&#8220;Yes sir,&#8221; Homer said.<br />
271</em></p></blockquote>
272<p>In the revised edition, the conversation goes like this.  </p>
273<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Well&#8230; I don&#8217;t know for sure, but  I guess I&#8217;d like to be somebody some day.&#8221;</p>
274<p>&#8220;You will be,&#8221; Spangler said.</em></p></blockquote>
275<p>I wondered if the author was trying to shorten the book &#8212; to make it more like a paperback, for mass-market consumption.    (The sentence &#8220;You know where Chatterton&#8217;s bakery is?&#8221; was changed to &#8220;Know where Chatterton&#8217;s bakery is?&#8221;) It&#8217;s like watching deleted scenes from a movie.  Sometimes you sense that it made the movie shorter, but at the same time it&#8217;s also eliminated some context. </p>
276<p> An entire chunk of dialogue was cut from the end of the scene at the telegraph office.  </p>
277<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Mr. Grogan went on, his mouth full of cocoanut cream. &#8216;Do you feel this world is going to be a better place after the War?&#8217;</p>
278<p>	Homer thought for a moment and then said, &#8216;Yes, sir.&#8217;</p>
279<p>	&#8216;Do you like cocoanut cream?&#8217; Mr. Grogan said.</p>
280<p>	&#8216;Yes, sir,&#8217; Homer said.</p>
281<p></em></p></blockquote>
282<p>Are these significant changes? If a story&#8217;s strength lies in its poignancy, then how do you measure the value of dialogue?  Here&#8217;s some more sentences that were edited out of chapter 4, when the smallest boy wanders into a conversation with his mother and older sister, asking about the brother who&#8217;s gone away to war.</p>
283<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Where&#8217;s Marcus?&#8221;</p>
284<p>Mrs. Macauley looked at he boy.</p>
285<p>&#8220;You must try to understand,&#8221; she began to say, then stopped.</p>
286<p>	Ulysses tried to understand but didn&#8217;t know just what was to be understood.</p>
287<p>	&#8220;Understand what?&#8221; he said.</p>
288<p>	&#8220;Marcus,&#8221; Mrs. Macauley said, &#8220;has gone away from Ithaca.&#8221;</p>
289<p>	&#8220;Why?&#8221; Ulysses said.</p>
290<p>	&#8220;Marcus is in the Army,&#8221; Mrs. Macauley said.<br />
291</em></p></blockquote>
292<p>In the revised edition, that scene was shortened to simply two sentences.</p>
293<blockquote><p><em>	&#8220;Where&#8217;s Marcus?&#8221;</p>
294<p>	&#8220;Marcus is in the Army,&#8221; Mrs. Macauley said.<br />
295</em></p></blockquote>
