"Aram's Notebook is a young boy's fictional diary about the Armenian genocide and has found its ideal translator in Ara H. Merjian. Along with The Violin of Auschwitz, this short novel establishes Anglada's well-deserved status in world literature."-- "Joan Ramon Resina, professor of Iberian and Latin American cultures and comparative literature at Stanford University, author of Barcelona's Vocation of Modernity: Rise and Decline of an Urban Image"
"Maria Àngels Anglada masterfully narrates survival through one of history's most devastating genocides. Ara H. Merjian's deft translation of Aram's Notebook underscores the profound truth of this widely readable and impactful novel: that despite our differences, we share a common humanity at our core."-- "Amara Lakhous, professor in the Practice, Department of Italian Studies at Yale University, and author of Clash of Civilizations over an Elevator in Piazza Vittorio"
"The Catalan writer Maria Àngels Anglada reminds me again of how stories regarding the Armenian genocide in current times of ongoing wars and mass migration will find their tellers, and not always in expected places or languages. This book is an important contribution to world letters and the recounting of early twentieth-century history for future generations of readers."-- "Micheline Aharonian Marcom, professor of creative writing at University of Virginia, author of DREAMer"
