Between and , Micheline Aharonian Marcom’s life had drastically changed. In , the Armenian American novelist sat at her desk in Berkeley, California to begin the manuscript that would become her first book about the Armenian genocide of – in the Ottoman Empire. The novel would be rich with characters, including one based on her maternal grandmother who had survived. By , she had submitted this polyphonic manuscript, titled The Myth of Genocide, as her master’s thesis for an MFA in Creative Writing from Oakland’s Mills College.
