A Recitation and Discussion on 10 Minutes 38 seconds in this strange world

Written by Elif Shafak

ABOUT THE BOOK CLUB EVENT

Mohini Khot will recite and take you through the story. We will have discussion on the story perfectly presented by author.

Elif Shafak’s latest novel is worth reading for the fundamental concept of death reflected in the title and also for its ambivalent fascination with the underbelly of Istanbul.
