Passage to Ararat

Farrar Straus Giroux, 1975. Hardcover. 293 p. Endpaper map. In "Passage to Ararat, " which received the National Book Award in 1976, Michael J. Arlen goes beyond the portrait of his father, the famous Anglo-Armenian novelist of the 1920s, that he created in Exiles to try to discover what his father had tried to forget: Armenia and what it meant to be an Armenian, a descendant of a proud people whom conquerors had for centuries tried to exterminate. But perhaps most affectingly, Arlen tells a story as large as a whole people yet as personal as the uneasy bond between a father and a son, offering a masterful account of the affirmation and pain of kinship. Condition: Very good in very good dust jacket. Signed by author. Signed on fep. DJ has minor wear and soiling, and rear flap creased. Minor page soiling.
