“Armenia’s Tragedy in Shushi,” my essay for the New York Review of Books https://www.nybooks.com/daily/2020/12/21/armenias-tragedy-in-shushi/ “And what if Shushi, too, were to become a honeycomb in whose cells memories coexisted without vitiating or privileging one over the other? What if we included in those cells not just the names of famous women, places, fictions, and nonfictions that we have been taught or lived and gotten to know, but other such signs, peoples, and meanings that can be acquired outside ourselves and communities? Can we not meet halfway in those liminal spaces to build new histories of inclusion?”
