Dick Tahta was born in Manchester, of parents who had survived the events of 1915. As a second-generation immigrant, he was interested in the nature of identity. Using Atom Egoyan’s film, Arara, as a launching pad, Tahta offers some fascinating interpretations of Armenian history, religion, language and literature. His digressions into youthful memories, family history and his own travels through Eastern Anatolia, give this book a warm and personal feel.
