Who, Michael Arlen or Mark Geragos, is an Armenian-American criminal defense lawyer?
Michael Arlen Michael Arlen (November 16, 1895 in Ruse, Bulgaria – June 23, 1956), born Dikran Kouyoumdjian (Armenian: Տիգրան Գույումճյան ), was a British essayist, short story writer, novelist, playwright, and scriptwriter of an Armenian origin, who had his greatest successes in the 1920s while living and writing in England. Arlen is most famous for his satirical romances set in English smart society, but he also wrote gothic horror and psychological thrillers, for instance "The Gentleman from America", which was filmed in 1956 as a television episode for Alfred Hitchcock's TV series "Alfred Hitchcock Presents". Near the end of his life, Arlen mainly occupied himself with political writing. Arlen's vivid but colloquial style "with unusual inversions and inflections with a heightened exotic pitch" came to be known as "Arlenesque".
