BOOK PRESENTATION
If you are fortunate enough to know Vartan Gregorian personally, you will realize that he is a man of brilliance, wisdom, insight, humor, and, yes, he is even cuddly. If you do not know him personally, his memoir is the best possible substitute I can rexommend. Vartan is a remarkable man. This is a remarkable book.

BOOK PRESENTATION
The road to home is the utterly engaging and uplifting story of the blossoming of extraordinarily rich talents in the life of one supremely good man. It’s also a passionate tale of hardship suffered and overcome, commitment to roots formed in the tragedy of theArmenian diaspora, and gut-wrenching academic politics, all told with rich humor and the serenity which comes from true humanistic learning. You won’t be able to put it down.
