Shahé Mankerian’s critically-acclaimed debut collection, History of Forgetfulness, takes readers to 1975 Beirut, where an un-civil war is brewing. Mankerian asks, “Who said war didn’t love / the children?” setting the tone for a darkly humorous collection in which memories of love, religion and childhood are entangled amongst street snipers and the confusion of misguided bombings.
The Glendale Library, Arts & Culture and the International Armenian Literary Alliance welcome you to a reading and discussion with the author, led by Nancy Kricorian.
