New e-book: Dinner, Stepan Zoryan
Published on
The story is set in the affluent Sololak district of Tiflis in the 1910s. The widowed Levon Azizyan spends his days alone in the dining room of his spacious house, talking incessantly about dinner and his late wife. His servant Grigor patiently listens to his master's capricious remarks, though he has yet to receive his wages—the money he has saved over the years. Their everyday conversation reveals the master's conceit and national vanity, as well as the inequality that leaves a working man dependent on the whims of his social superior.
