GERMAN LANGUAGE EDITION OF P/F BY ARAM PACHYAN PUBLISHED
The GERMAN edition of P/F by Aram Pachyan was published by Kolchis Verlag in Switzerland.
P/F is the EUPL winning novel by the author and the rights have already been sold to Bulgarian, Farsi and Greek languages.
P/F is a fragmental, experimental novel with modulations characteristic of zen Buddhism Koans. Old and new Yerevan, the river Getar, the vanished tram and the “lonely” man, who tries to find himself in the city of his fading memories, they all meet in the novel. All the fragments of the novel are linked with each other, but their order does not matter at all and is just conditional.
The protagonist of the novel with the nickname P/F, who appears in the different parts of the novel, in different situations as Sev, Phil, Aram, finishes his memory book with a monologue dedicated to river Getar, which is the symbol of life.
On October 22, 2023 at the St. Paul’s Church in Frankfurt the award ceremony of The Prize for Peace by German Book Trade took place. In the series of readings of international authors as a part of the ceremony an extract from Aram Pachyan’s P/F in German was read.
This is one of the most prestigious ceremonies taking place in the framework of Frankfurt Book Fair. This year the Prize was awarded to an outstanding Indian born British-American novelist Salman Rushdie.
