Zareh Vorpouni (Armenian: Զարեհ Որբունի; May 24, 1902 in Ordu, Ottoman Empire – December 1, 1980 in Paris, France) was an Armenian novelist, editor, and writer.[1][2]
Translation
[edit]Zareh Vorpouni's first work to appear in English translation is The Candidate: A Novel, translated by Jennifer Manoukian and Ishkhan Jinbashian (Syracuse, NY: Syracuse University Press, 2016). In the translator's introduction, Manoukian writes, "From this footnote has emerged a translation that resists, much like in the spirit of the original. It resists the isolation and insularity of literature written in a minority language; it resists the idea that culture in diaspora is fossilized, stagnant, or in decline; and it resists the notion that Armenians have only their century-old plight to offer the world outside their national cocoon."[3] Vorpouni was also featured in the April 2020 issue of Asymptote in which Manoukian explores his use of the "new novel."[4]
