Our next book club is dedicated to I Ask You, Ladies & Gentlemen, Leon Surmelian’s personal tale of deep sorrow and profound gratitude, of terrible loss and a lively embrace of life itself. Long out-of-print, when first published in 1945 the book was a bestseller, internationally acclaimed and translated into many languages.
Last year the Armenian Institute, convinced of its relevance today, brought out a new edition for a new generation. With added photographs, a map, glossary and historical context, Surmelian’s memoir of his own experiences of surviving genocide and migrating to find shelter is a story that resonates strongly even today.
So join us to discuss this re-released masterpiece! You can order a hard copy through the Armenian Institute website here: https://www.armenianinstitute.org.uk/.../i-ask-you-ladies...
Or find the book available as a Kindle edition through Amazon here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/I-Ask-You-Ladies.../dp/B08DQQTLGN/
For the evening itself we’ll open with a brief introduction about the book and the new AI edition, and then open for group discussion.
