The Wrath of Bogosian: The Actor-Turned-Historian Reflects on Retribution
By David Wallis
On Ninth Avenue and 43rd Street is a narrow Turkish joint. Great lamb
gyros, but a chilling place to read Operation Nemesis: The
Assassination Plot that Avenged the Armenian Genocide. The gripping
book details how a small group of survivors of the Turks' systematic
massacre turned into hit men, whacking several of the architects of
the crime against humanity. And the book's author is Eric Bogosian.
Yes, that Eric Bogosian, the actor from Law and Order: Criminal Intent
and monologist extraordinaire, famous for creating bitterly funny
characters rather than exhaustively researched historical tomes with
pages of footnotes. Mr. Bogosian, arguably the most famous
Armenian-American, aside from a certain over-exposed family of reality
stars, recently chatted over coffee in his Tribeca apartment about his
shifting view of retribution, warm memories of his grandparents and
his deep ethnic pride.
