It should be rectified that the late Alicia Ghiragossian, while translating a few pieces of Armenian poetry in the 1960s, did not translate or publish any book of Armenian literature into Spanish, including “The Fool.” She only wrote a preface to the Spanish translation of “The Fool” by Jose Moussayan and Adam F. Sosa, published in 1969.
May She rest in peace
She was my friend. May she rest in peace.
So sorry to learn of Alicia’s passing. She wrote a wonderful book that she titled “The Courage to Survive” and I wonder if she ever published it. I edited it for her but never learned of its publishing. If anyone knows, I love to hear. She was a brilliant writer.
