Promoting Kurdish culture
from all parts of KURDISTAN

Kurdish Book Club

Our next Book Club meeting will take place on Tuesday, March 4, 2025, at 7pm ET.  We’ll be discussing Letters from a Kurd by Kae Bahar.

This book is 418 pages long, so we are taking two months to order and read it. The book is published by Yolk Publishing (UK) and is available for purchase through their website as well as other online bookstores.

Date and time: Tuesday, March 4, 2025, at 7pm ET

Place: Zoom
