‘I HURRY TO SUM UP MY FEELINGS’
Lawyer-Humorist Grigor Melik-Sargsian Says
Lawyer and humorist Grigor Melik-Sargsian has published his last humorous
books recently. They are titled “The Adventures of Usta Sano”, “Life and
Death of Crazy Hamlet” and “Anthology of Folly and Craze”.
Grigor Melik-Sargsian is a member of the Writers’ Unions of Armenia and
Nagorno Karabakh, he began the literary path in 1997 with “The Ascension”
book and won a number awards. During this short period the lawyer-humorist
has written 15 books, both dealing with jural issues or purely humoristic
essays.
Asked what it means to be a writer and a lawyer in the meantime,
Melik-Sargsian said, “Writing is a demand, it’s a haste. I hurry to sum up
my feelings”. Feelings of this sensitive writer, meanwhile, come down as a
storm.
In his “Life and Death of Crazy Hamlet” the author depicts an ordinary loony
from our life who goes mad of love and eventually dies of unrequited love.
In the “Anthology of Folly and Craze” Melik-Sargsian analyzes the idea that
the great and talented people of the universe are the same fools and
crazies.
