Description
This volume also includes the following short stories:"Kiurtistani Lernerun Mech (In the Hills of Kurdistan)"
"Mer Dratsinere (Our Neighbors)"
Published in two volumes (in 1949 and 1954), this the first major and foundational collection of short stories by the prominent Armenian-American writer Aram Haigaz, which solidified his place in Diaspora literature. This work brings together autobiographical narratives from the author's youth and survival years, alongside modern depictions of Armenian immigrant life in America. In his characteristically simple, flavorful Western Armenian and heartwarming humor, Haigaz portrays the loss of the old homeland (specifically Shabin-Karahisar), the horrors of the Genocide, as well as the anxieties of preserving national identity and the struggles of adaptation in the New World. The title symbolizes the call of ancestral roots and the indestructible resilience of the Armenian spirit, which speaks through every single line of the author—devoid of bitterness or hatred, but filled with pride and a profound love for life.
