In his autobiography “The Tender Hair of Twilights”, celebrated American writer, Richard Seaver, said about his years at Sorbonne: “The only exception to the doddering professor generalization was a youngish professor by the name of Charles Dedeyan.

His hour vanished in a trice, and he invariably, having kept us on the edges of our seats, finished with a flourish that, like the last scene of the serial movie, announced the exciting subject of next week’s episode.”
