Summary:
In a gathering of stories, Many Have Pictures Like This chronicles a familys history and passing, from Armenian villages before WWI to the Armenian Genocide, to Romania, and finally to the United States. Much is fictionalized, all is based on truth, and the author asks the question throughout: What is owed to ones dead?
Whether walking with his father to a pizzeria or sitting with his mother in an imagined coffee house, whether enjoying his grandmothers immigrant mac-and-cheese or playing catch with a friend on a hot New York day and encountering his godmother, the author learns what life demanded from his family. I guess what Im most interested in, he says, what I need to know, is how they continued on with their liveswith their spirits intact to varying degreesafter what theyd endured by the circumstances of their origins and time and place. His own place as an immigrant and his familys expectations for him are in the mix. And theres the necessary acknowledgment that the monsters his family escaped never go away, not even in the New World.
Sometimes serious, sometimes playful, and with lessons learned from salmon and ravens in the authors attempt to flee his familys story, this collection is a mythology of a handful of people with experiences not entirely unique in the history of the world, though they were.
