During this turbulent time, the school library became his intellectual sanctuary, and the librarian—Hasmig Najarian, who also taught Armenian—became his “book whisperer,” providing him with a steady stream of books that opened up new worlds and sustained his curiosity. Later in life, while pursuing his PhD at Clark University, Mouradian found another pivotal mentor in Debórah Dwork, his dissertation co-chair. Her rigorous and meticulous editing transformed his writing, making her a second “whisperer” who continues to guide his storytelling voice to this day.\n
