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parlance, a leading one, which in a court of law would be immediately followed by the triad, “Objection,” “Sustained,” “Withdrawn.”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?
