One of our books of the year 2024
So says: This book came out on the cusp of 2023 and 2024 or else it would have been on mine and, frankly, everyones 2023 Book of the Year lists. Its an immediately-absorbing conversation heard in scintillating fragments between two Armenian women writers in the present about two women Armenian writers in the past, who wrote on either side of the genocide. Its about archives and erasures, both colonial and patriarchal, and its about translation (Avagyan is a translator herself, and Cachoian-Schanzs endnotes set a new standard in contextual information and reflection, bringing the reader into the conversation). Its about longing, letters, friendship, fragments, and the deeply-felt proposition that what we write and dream is ongoing through others in ways we cannot imagine, but this book allows us to hope.
