Muslim Journeys Book Club
(Public Programs)
Learn more about the experiences of Muslims in this scholar-led book group. We'll begin with an introduction to the Qur'an and its place in the lives of Muslims. Then we'll read four memoirs exploring the authors' paths in countries including Egypt, France, Iran, Lebanon, Turkey and the United States. Each session will start with a short lecture, followed by facilitated book discussion, and finishing with a question and answer period. All are invited to participate. Drop-in for one or attend all five sessions; no sign up required. Free and open to the public. Light refreshments served.
At this session:
Istanbul: Memories and the City by Orhan Pamuk.
Lecture and discussion with Jyotsna Singh, Professor of English.
Sponsored by MSU Muslim Studies Program, MSU Libraries, and East Lansing Public Library
