Hey guys, I just received this from ATS, I am sure if you are around you do not want to miss this amazing event:
The American Turkish Society Book Club Recommends
Join Orhan Pamuk at the 92nd Street Y Unterberg Poetry Center
Lexington Ave at 92nd Street
Monday, November 9, 8:00 PM
In his first appearance at the PoetryCenter, Orhan Pamuk reads from The Museum of Innocence, his first novel since winning the Nobel Prize in 2006. "Pamuk gives us what all novelists give us at their best: the truth," wrote Margaret Atwood. "Not the truth of statistics, but the truth of human experience at a particular place, in a particular time. And as with all great literature, you feel at moments not that you are examining him, but that he is examining you."
SPECIAL OFFER FOR ATS BOOK CLUB:$19 tickets (reg. $27) available. Use code ATS for tickets.

A stirring exploration of the nature of romantic attachment and of the mysterious allure of collecting, The Museum of Innocence also plumbs the depths of an Istanbul half Western and half traditional—its emergent modernity, its vast cultural history.

This event replaces the ATS Book Club meeting scheduled for November 16. Our next Book Club will meet on Monday, December 14.
