Thank you to Jennifer Szalai and the New York Times for this thoughtful review of Aftershocks: "A gorgeous and unsettling memoir of Owusu’s...peripatetic childhood, along with the bewilderment and breakdown that came after."

Seeing Aftershocks translated into Armenian is such a gift. I was also honored, with @barbasusan and Aram Mrjoian, to select a winner for @armliterary's creative writing grant. Congrats to @loriyeg! Her excerpt of her memoir "How to Survive a Genocide" was a standout.
🥁 We are very pleased to announce that, from the submissions received, the judges have awarded the 2024 Israelyan Armenian Translation Grant to Lilit Hayrapetyan for her translation of Aftershocks by @NadiaOwusu1! 👏 Learn more here:
