The Armenian and the Armenian
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Armenian and the Armenian" is a short story written by William Saroyan in August 1935 in New York. It was first published in 1936 in the collection of short stories entitled Inhale & Exhale.[1] Over the years, the story has become known for the excerpt—"arguably [Saroyan's] most famous saying"[2]—about the survival of the Armenian people after the genocide of 1915.
