On February 7, 2023, the International Armenian Literary Alliance launched the Literary Lights series. The first event featured Taleen Voskuni, author of Sorry, Bro. Voskuni was in conversation with J.P. Der Boghossian, the founder of the Queer Armenian Library and host of the podcast This Queer Book Saved My Life! Watch the video below!
Literary Lights is a monthly reading series organized by the International Armenian Literary Alliance (IALA), the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR), and the Krikor and Clara Zohrab Information Center. The series—held from February to November in a mixed online and in-person format—features new works of literature by Armenian authors. Audience members are invited to read along with the series, which you can become familiar with here.
Sorry, Bro chronicles the journey of an Armenian-American woman who rediscovers her roots and embraces who she really is, in “a bighearted queer rom-com uniquely inflected with Armenian American culture” by debut author Taleen Voskuni (Publishers Weekly).
