"Forgotten Bread: First Generation Armenian American Writers" Book Reading in New York
On Tuesday, September 24, AGBU Ararat Quarterly & The Krikor and Clara Zohrab Information Center of the Diocese of the Armenian Church of America (Eastern) co-sponsored a book reading event for the release of Forgotten Bread: First Generation Armenian American Writers edited by David Kherdian.
The book launch took place at the G Hall of the St. Vartan Cathedral complex and was open to the public.
Close to 50 people attended the event which was one of the first attempts to anthologize a body of literature that spans almost a century and includes many notable names, including A. I. Bezzerides, Diana Der Hovanessian, Marjorie Housepian Dobkin, David Kherdian, William Saroyan, Peter Sourian and Leon Surmelian.
Forgotten Bread was supported by a grant from AGBU.
Copies of the book are currently available for purchase on Amazon.com, and will soon be available on AGBU's online bookstore and St. Vartan's online bookstore.
