From those sheets, I fashioned a little book of my own, on the cover of which I had written, as a title, "The Book of Varis." When we went there, he wrote a foreword to my collection of stories, inscribing: "To our literature comes Varis." Q: And how does Azerbaijan’s Varis wish to be seen by the readers of the world? Q: Dear Varis, before the interview you mentioned in conversation that you are working, by state commission, on a new historical novel. Newspapers, journals, and periodicals perish in time, but literature and books endure, preserved in the archives as the treasury of our history.
