Quiet Voices, Faded Photographs: Remembering the Armenian Genocide in Varujan Vosganian’s ‘The Book of Whispers’
Andreea Mironescu · 2017
Catalogue summary
A reading of Varujan Vosganian's Romanian novel follows third-generation transmission of Armenian Genocide memory through family photographs, documentary images, autobiography, and literary form.
Why this matters
Linking those memories with the Holocaust, Gulag deportations, and Romanian repression shows how a diasporic Armenian narrative participates in wider European remembrance of violence.
