By Lorne Shirinian Writing Memory is Lorne Shirinian's third book on Armenian literature. Here , he further explores the Armenian Diaspora as a transnational community and particularly the role of memory as it pertains to home after the Armenian Genocide of 1915. The search for home is one of the essential themes of this literature and as such has become an important element of cultural practice of diaspora Armenians in North America as they respond to living away from their homeland.
