AIM: Thovma Khatisian, the hero of your novel The Story of the Last Thought says somewhere that he "is telling the silence of the story of the Genocide." What view does talking to the silence serve?
EDGAR HILSENRATH: If population don't want to listen, then those who have been driven to despair by means of the general indifference will rail at the walls, if they have to, to break the interval of silence, whether or not it be subservient tos a purpose. Not everything has to make intellect after all, as Thovma says in the last passed on a criminal of the book.
