Description
One night, God turns His back on Yerevan for a single hour, just long enough for the demon Ajami to pay the city a visit. This brief lapse in divine attention sets off a chain of events that brings the statues of Yerevan's past giants to life.
In this novella by British-Armenian author Ara Iskanderian, these statues engage in a lively debate about their lifetime achievements and the meaning of greatness. As they discuss their own legacies, they ponder what it might mean for anyone who dares to dream themselves worthy of a similar recognition.
Inspired by his deep understanding of Armenian mythology and his love for Armenia's capital, Yerevan, this is a unique tale of magical realism that explores the complexities of identity and achievement.
