This interview reveals Lucine Kasbarian as a person with a wide range of interests; besides her writing and publising professional undeniable high qualities; she has the much needed intellectual and emotional sensitivity for the revival of the Armenian nation’s barbaric destruction of the past; Lucine is an exceptional force of inspiration to all Armenians, she epitomizes what is best in the Armenian nation.
Hazar abrees Lucine.
Thank you Lucine. This book and your book on Armenia should be required reading for young (and not-so-young) Armenians everywhere. You bring honor to your ancestors and the rest of us. We all look forward to your future publications.
My grandchildren and I are looking forward to having the book in our hands. Thanks Lucine.
very, very interesting initiative.
un fuerte abrazo, Adam
Dear Lucine:
I always thought you were wonderful and now the whole world can know of your talents, your heartfelt emotions about armenia and armenians, and your simplictic way of telling a story that everyone can understand. This is difficult to do, but not for you. Love you, Madeleine
“The Greedy Sparrow” offers our children the rare opportunity to receive a lesson for life and a glimspe of their own heritage. Lucine’s powerful style and Maria’s vivid illustrations have converted each page into a true work of art. This is book to keep and pass from generation to generation!
Thank you, all, for your unbelievably supportive remarks. As this book releases in April (genocide memorial month), it’s my hope that the book will be a small contribution towards the idea that in spite of genocide, our culture survives. Just as sparrow himself bullies his way into “possessing” many things that didn’t belong to him, it reminded me of how, in Armenia’s sad history, Turkish occupiers seized land, women and cultural practices from the Armenians and other native peoples much in the same way. Let us hope that the same karma that caught up with the sparrow catches up with the Turkish government, which still denies confiscation, identity theft and genocide.
This one of the most enjoyable sites to see
