Bringing Ararat is a tightly contained and interwoven collection of stories that follows men at the far Western tail of the Armenian Diaspora. While each has elements that are distinctly Armenian, at their heart these stories illuminate nearly universal experiences of family and immigration, fear and loyalty, and compassion and betrayal..
A number of these stories have appeared in prominent literary journal including The Missouri Review and Glimmer Train where I recently won the 2007 Fiction Open.
This collection was a finalist in both the 2007 Ohio State University Press Fiction Contest and the 2007 St. Lawrence Book Award Contest. >>> More
