To most people, Emmett Conn is a confused old World War I veteran,fading in and out of senility. But in his mind, Emmett is haunted byevents he’d long forgotten. In his dreams, he’s a gendarme, a soldiermarching Armenians out of Turkey. He commits unspeakable acts. Yet hefeels compelled to spare one remarkable woman: Araxie, the girl withthe piercing eyes-one green, one blue.
As the past and present bleed together in The Gendarme,Emmett Conn sets out on one final journey to find Araxie and begforgiveness, before it’s too late. With uncompromising vision andboundless compassion, Mark Mustian has written a transcendentmeditation on the power of memory-and the dangers of forgetting who weare and have been.
