“TO GO ON LIVING”
(Narine Abgaryan)
In Narine Abgaryan’s–called “one of Europe’s most exciting authors” by The Guardian— distinctively Armenian stories, people find purpose again after loss.
Set in an Armenian mountain village after the first war of Artsakh in the 1990s, these thirty-one linked short stories trace the interconnected lives of villagers tending to their everyday tasks, engaging in quotidian squabbles, and celebrating small joys against a breathtaking landscape.
Yet the setting, suspended in time and space, belies unspeakable tragedy: every character contends with a burden of loss. Abgaryan’s stories focus on how, in the war’s aftermath, the survivors work, as individuals and as a community, to find a way forward.
