The presentation of the book titled “The Migrant and the Dissident" by contemporary Indian writer Abi Alexander was held on Friday, at Bureaucrat Cafe and Bookstore in Yerevan, Armenia. In an interview with Panorama.am, the writer informed that he has written the book within 11 months. “The Migrant and the Dissident" is Abi Alexander’s sixth book.

“This book, like the previous one – “For the Love of Armine” – have close ties with Armenia. I have numerous friends in Armenia, who have organized the presentation of this book,” he noted.

Meantime, the Indian writer expressed hope that he will publish another book with Armenian motives. However in order to achieve that purpose, he must receive an agreement from the US Peace Corps to reside in Armenia for two years and engage in volunteering activities in the country.

In the end, Abi Alexander highlighted that he is impressed by the taste of the Armenian readers.
