Summary

Varužan Vosganjan: The Book of Whispers

Translated from Romanian by Ana Brnardić Oproiu and Adrian Oproiu

Armenska Street is a picturesque place in the Romanian city of Focşani in the 1950s, where the boy Varužan grows up in the steam of coffee from freshly roasted beans, among the smells of grandma Armenuhi's pantry and among grandfather Garabet's ABC books and photographs. But Armenian elders from the author's childhood do not tell about pleasant events, but about horrors. By telling stories, they try to free themselves from their traumas, but also from the traumas of the entire twentieth century.

Stories about the genocide of 1915, about endless convoys of exiles in the Circles of Death, in the Deir-ez-Zor desert, about Armenians on their way to exile, are told in this novel in a disturbing and magnificent way.

Varužan Vosganjan, writer, politician and economist. of Armenian origin, was born in 1958 in the city of Craiova, in Romania. He gained international literary fame thanks to the Book of Whispers, a book-symbol against the crime of genocide, a novel translated into more than twenty languages. In addition to novels, he publishes poetry, short stories, essays and texts on economics.

Vosganjan also held the position of Minister of Economy in two governments. He is the president of the Writers' Association of Romania.
