5 HOT BOOKS: What Makes People Racist?, What We Don't Tell Our Mothers, and More: And a Gorgeously Written Story of the Life and Death (by Poachers) of a Grizzly Bear
Of interest is Feast of Ashes: The Life and Art of David Ohannessian by Sato Moughalian (Redwood Press/Stanford University Press) which made top of the 5 hot books list.
And Quote from the above article:
"In her extraordinary book, flutist Moughalian chronicles the vivid life of her grandfather, the Armenian ceramicist and tile-maker whose distinctive color and design survived him and continue to enrich Jerusalem. Moughalian draws from her own artistic sensibilities to capture her grandfather’s passion for his craft, from his beginnings in a remote Anatolian mountain village through surviving the Armenian Genocide to his creation of the magical ceramics that abounds in and enriches the city of Jerusalem. More than merely a tribute to the talents of her grandfather, Moughalian’s book is a work of alchemy – combining the personal, tragic history writ large, and the somehow uplifting power of enduring art."
