Blood oranges dipped in salt

Karen Babayan

4.9/5 (27068 ratings)

Description:Karen Babayan was brought up in the Armenian community of Tehran in Iran until she was 16 and then moved to the UK with her immediate family. She is now a visual artist living in Cumbria with a fascination for her family roots and for the insight that they give into a resilient community’s incredible history. “The stories are woven around family photos and recollections that have assumed a mythical quality for me over the years,” explains Karen, “and they’ve been patiently collected over a lifetime of conversations. The stories occupy a time span of over 400 years to the present day and the events cover a geography of three continents: from Jugha, Dilijan and Yerevan in Armenia; Salmas, Isfahan and Tehran in Iran, then to Leeds and Appleby, England and finally to Toronto, Canada.” The book reflects the history of the Armenians of Iran from the perspective of the author's own family. Dreams feature strongly; also births, marriages and deaths, the stuff of family life. The stories bear witness to a minority cultural with a monumental history that has experienced generations of loss, displacement, migration, immigration and assimilation. Karen Babayan has tried to bring a sense of 'here and now', creating a tangible link from the past to the present whilst trying still to retain the spirit and survival of the original tales. The title is based on an Armenian taste for oranges dipped in salt as a snack and the reference to blood oranges emphasises the strong family bonds reflected in the stories. “I have felt a strong sense of responsibility for capturing these stories and experiences,” says Karen, “before those who tell them and the stories themselves are lost. It is particularly poignant to see them in print at last and to be able to share them more widely. I hope that the production of the book, which is very tactile like a keepsake, will encourage people to pass it on as these stories have been passed on through the generations of my family.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
