But there is also another reason, considerate of the author. I have been told that there are writers whose works would have been famous if only their names could have been familiarly pronounced—Polish and Russian writers for the most part, I gather. Since I had already taken every other precaution but this to deserve their more fortunate fate, in changing my name I have, I hope, robbed my readers of their last excuse for my obscurity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDikran Kouyoumdjian.\u003cbr\u003e\"Michael Arlen.\"","brand":"Unforgotten Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147776114928,"sku":"2940014933889","price":1.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014933889_p0.jpg?v=1763617418","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014933889","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
