1920s ...
Refugees from the Old World ... Hopes flicker and gasp ... "Do you
bring word from Kharpert?" ... "They are using the stones of Soorp
Garabed as fence posts"... Antranigdead ... Little Armenia settles in ...
Bakeries and coffeehouses ... Shoemakers and tailors ... Emersoi,
Longfellow, and Fresno Tech ... Irrigation ditches and backyard
gardens ... Picnics for the summer ... Hantesner for the winter ... The
world steadies herself, then wobbles ... prices tumble ... Debts rise ...
Land lies fallow ... Another exile ... Los Angeles ... San Francisco ...
"Yertak parov"...
