AI’s Salon Zanazan is a welcoming space for open discussions on various topics, a series of lively evenings of sharing ideas and breaking bread together. Each evening will have a different theme with a short presentation on wide-ranging subjects from current affairs to arts and culture. We’ll finish the evening each time sharing a simple meal of soup, salad, bread, and further conversation.

Comedian, artist, and writer Vahe Berberian’s latest novel, Diary of a Dead Man, will be the focus of this first evening in the series. We will listen to readings from the book, chosen for us by Vahe, and discuss this well-received, exciting novel, his third. For those who wish to read the book ahead of the meeting, it is available here.

Note: Zanazan is Armenian for “varied” or “various”
