Comments:
“Your wonderful book, Literary Responses to Catastrophe just arrived. And I started, before reading the rest of the mail, to just peruse. But before I knew it hours had gone by!
It must have been a very doleful immersion, as you say, to produce this necessary work. But it is so vital and necessary.
And our people should be so grateful. I know I am…”

“Without telling you of my enormous admiration for your literary responses to our catastrophe. I envy your style (smooth and clear) which does not often accompany depth of thought and discernment. Believe it, this reader learned a great deal! (to mention just one aspect – the theme of martyrdom and its secularization). Thank you so much for that, especially your insights are terrific.”
Love, Marje

“Pluridisciplinary is an important characteristic of Peroomian’s work. Focused on historical events and phenomena and their echoes in literature, she uses analytical methods of not only historio-literary criticism, but also those in various disciplines, cultural, ethnic, and social sciences.”
