Eva Kuras, a PhD student in Comparative & World Literature, is starting a book club that will meet over the course of the next four months to read and discuss tales of the Mediterranean. The club will meet on February 4th, March 4th, April 2nd, and May 7th from 2 to 3:30 p.m. in the Sattherhwaite Conference Room at the Urbana Public Library. There will be snacks!
From the event description:
“We will make our way around the Mediterranean, starting in Istanbul with Orhan Pamuk’s My Name is Red, then move to Baghdad/Cairo with tales from 1001 Nights, and Mediterranean sea journeys in Boccaccio’s Decameron. We will finish with the great Persian love story, Vis and Ramin, which has connections to the European Tristan and Isolde legend.”
