  • questions

    Whenever I am asked a question, more often than not it is not an honest question but a loaded one, or in legal parlance, a leading one, which in a court of law would be immediately followed by the triad, “Objection,” “Sustained,” “Withdrawn.”

    Has anyone ever been successful in convincing a
    man in love that the woman he loves, far from
    being the most beautiful woman in the world, is
    just a woman, like countless other women?

      WHY I WRITE IN ENGLISH

      **********************

      I write in English because

      had I chosen to write in Armenian

      I would have been ignored as well as starved.

      Because I write in English

      I was awarded a series of literary prizes and grants

      that allowed me to devote my full time to writing

      and to publish thirty books

      half of which are translations from the Armenian.

      What happened to Zarian

      who chose to write in Armenian?

      He was ignored in the Diaspora,

      silenced in the Homeland,

      and ended his days thinking,

      “Armenians survive by cannibalizing one another.”

      What happened to Baruir Massikian

      who also wrote in Armenian?

      How many Armenians read him today?

      How many have even heard of him?
