Poor Meline Toumani. She tried to write an avant guarde, post-modernist book about 1915 and now in interview after interview she is having to walk back point after point. For example, on her characterization of hate-filled Armenians: The reservations many Armenians had about Toumani's memoir, that it would be politicized and used against the interests and the rightful claims of the Armenian people have already been realized, and it occurred sooner than anyone thought. It appears I am the only one who noticed and fully appreciated the significance of a blurb on the cover attributed to one Stephen Kinzer. Who is Stephen Kinzer? Read part 1 of an in depth analysis of Toumani's book, "The Stephen Kinzer Kiss of Death", to find out.
