The Candidate by Zareh Vorpouni

The Candidate by Zareh Vorpouni

This is one of the most masterful, psychologically penetrating novels in Armenian diaspora literature. Published in 1967 at a time of political awakening among the descendants of survivors of the Armenian genocide, the novel explores themes of trauma, forgiveness, reconciliation, friendship, and sacrifice, and examines the relationship between victim and perpetrator.

Zareh Vorpouni (1902–1980) was a prominent Armenian writer. He is the author of numerous novels and short story collections, including The Persecuted, a cycle of four novels published between 1929 and 1974: The Attempt, The Candidate, Asphalt, and A Regular Day. This is the first of his novels to be translated into English.

Jennifer Manoukian is a translator of Western Armenian literature, most recently The Gardens of Silihdar by Zabel Yessayan.

Ishkhan Jinbashian is the translator of numerous books, including Passage through Hell and The Fatal Night.
