Garin Hovannisian Discusses 'Family of Shadows' at Barnes & Noble

Publishing house HarperCollins has announced the September 21-Independence Day release of Garin K. Hovannisian's highly anticipated debut memoir, Family of Shadows: A Century of Murder, Memory, and the Armenian American Dream. "One of modern history's great unexamined stories," declares David Ignatius of the Washington Post. "Family of Shadows will move you with the intensity and intimacy of its detail."

Combining the historical urgency of The Burning Tigris, the cultural sweep of Middlesex, and the psychological complexity of Snow, Family of Shadows is a searing history of Armenia, witnessed and realized through three generations of the Hovannisian family: Kaspar—the survivor of a national catastrophe and soldier of General Antranig; Richard—the scholar, the professor, the pioneer of Armenian studies in the United States; and Raffi—the repatriate citizen and first foreign minister of a new republic, the leader of a rising opposition party in Armenia's parliament. "An extraordinary saga," hails Dr. Vartan Gregorian, president of the Carnegie Corporation of New York and author of The Road to Home. "An inspired tribute, full of passion and appreciation."

@cocoloco379 Listen you ignorant pathetic excuse for a human being, this man can't be compared to Levon, Robert or Serj. He gave up his citizenship in the US, spends endless hours meeting with world powers and is still able to deal with the corruption in Armenia without a loss of hope for a Democratic Republic. He's done nothing but exhibit good will towards Armenia. The evidence is there and yet du ko eshnes kashum. Please bring up one example of robbery this man or his family has exhibited.

Listen you stupid bitch, no matter who is in power in any country they are stealing, eating, robbing... Levon did it, Robert did it, Serj is doing, and the future president will do it too. There is not a single government in the world that is not involved in these parasitic games. Hovannisians are nothing but Western puppets. Esh Americatsi!

@cocoloco379 Are you confused? You poor thing...you may care to take a look into those people who currently hold power in Armenia. I think perhaps they're the traitors? Yes, I think so. Eating up the resources and working the Armenian people to their unfortunate doom. His grandfather has done riches for Armenian studies and his father went back to Armenia during the earthquake and tried doing some good for his homeland. Something native Armenians don't attempt to do YOU MORONIC PIG

@cocoloco379 Can u tell me what bad thing is he doing by writing his family history, informing us about the GENOCIDE, one more family who was unlucky to face the terrible Genocide.

We must appreciate people who have the courage to stand and talk about Genocide and protect Armenia.
