Our next reading will be All Dogs Die, a novel by Cemile Sahin.
How do you live with violence and trauma? How do you cope with the threat of them recurring? These are among the urgent questions posed by Cemile Sahin’s novel—a haunting and brilliant tale of people on the edge.
The Kurdish Book Club will meet to discuss it on May 6.

The New York Kurdish Cultural Center has received a generous grant from New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA). The funding will be applied to the New York Kurdish Film Festival, edition 9, coming in the fall of 2025.
The New York Kurdish Cultural Center, established in 2017, seeks to nurture and showcase Kurdish contributions to the visual and performing arts, cinema, and literature. By creating venues for exhibitions and performances in the New York area, it further aims to foster community among Kurds and to build bridges with non-Kurdish communities.
The NYKCC creates spaces where Kurds and friends of Kurds may interact in safety. We do not tolerate discriminatory behavior based on race, color, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, or age.
The New York Kurdish Cultural Center, Inc., is a 501(c)3 nonprofit registered in New York State.
