“This Is Not Love”: Vahé Berberian’s journey into passion and self-destruction

LOS ANGELES—Acclaimed Armenian writer and artist Vahé Berberian’s latest novel, This Is Not Love, is now available on Amazon. Known for exploring human emotion and identity, Berberian delivers a raw, introspective narrative that blurs the line between love and obsession.
