Moving between memories of growing up Armenian and American in Walpole, Massachusetts, and her later experiences at Wellesley College, then Hollywood and, finally, Turkey, Agabian offers an illuminating meditation on the sometimes bizarre entanglement of individual desire (sexual and otherwise) in the web of family life and history. At the heart of this unraveling is a grappling with the history of trauma and upheaval experienced by her paternal grandmother, who survived the Armenian Genocide, and the legacy of that wounding experience for Agabian and her extended family.</p><p><em>Whats so refreshing about Agabians prose is her marvelously open, daring, and honest inquiry into the self. Our enfant terribleshe has yet again managed to capture us with her quirky, brilliant stories.</em> Shushan Avagyan, author of Girk-anvernagir; translator of I Want to Live: Poems of Shushanik Kurghinian</p><p><em>My favorite song from Nancy Agabians improbably vivid Guitar Boy punk rock period a decade ago was the genius anthem I Dont Want to be a Victim Anymore. Though as she noted at the time, when youre a mousily timid, family-mired, Armenian bisexual artist, not tending toward victimhood isnt all that easy. But you know what? By the end of this splendidly engrossing memory chronicle, shes pulled it off. Shes no victim. What she is is funny, smart, generous and wise.
