Description
In 2016, Azerbaijan arrested one of its esteemed writers, Akram Aylisli, for writing a fictional story depicting Armenian trauma, existence, and peaceful coexistence with Azeris. This paper analyzes how Akram Aylisli's work, "Stone Dreams: A Novel-Requiem,' has reevaluated national identity and has disrupted the official memory created by Azerbaijan, where certain historical events are contested and even suppressed.
