This week on TALK by Turner we're joined by first-generation Armenian-American writer and educator Aida Zilelian. In this conversation, Aida discusses the current state of immigration in the United States as well as how she has navigated her own cultural identity as a first-generation Armenian-American.
Aida Zilelian is the author of "All the Ways We Lied" (Keylight Books) and "The Legacy of Lost Things," recipient of the 2014 Tololyan Literary Award. Aida has been featured on NPR, The Huffington Post, Kirkus Reviews, and Poets & Writers. Her short story collection, "These Hills Were Meant for You," was shortlisted for the 2018 Katherine Anne Porter Award.
