Almost a century ago, in the aftermath of the Armenian genocide, Yervant
Janigian made his way from Turkey to the Great Central Valley, and soon
convinced his nephew, Aram Arax, to join him. Together they began
picking fruits and vegetables, and putting down roots.
Today, two generations later, their grandsons Mark Arax (West of the
West: Dreamers, Believers, Builders, and Killers in the Golden State)
and Aris Janigian (Riverbig) offer probing reflections on the West.
Award-winning author and journalist Mark Arax is a co-author of The King
of California and author of In My Father's Name. He is a contributing
writer at Los Angeles magazine and a former senior writer at the Los
Angeles Times. He teaches nonfiction writing at Claremont McKenna
College.
A second generation Armenian-American, Aris Janigian was born and raised
in Fresno, California. He has authored numerous academic articles in
psychology and architecture. Riverbig is his second novel. His first
novel Bloodvine was a finalist for the William Saroyan International
Writing Prize. In 2007, he received Columbia University's Anahid
Literary Award.
Hope to see you all there.
