Description

Duke University, Richard White Lecture Hall November 17th 6:30PM The first 230 tickets available will be in Richard White Lecture Hall with the final 100 being seated in the overflow area (East Duke 207). A plague arrives to Mingheria, a half-Muslim and half-Christian island in the Ottoman Mediterranean. The Ottoman Sultan Abdülhamit II sends his most accomplished quarantine expert to the island—an Orthodox Christian. Some of the Muslims, including followers of a religious sect and its leader Sheikh Hamdullah, refuse to respect the quarantine--and then a murder occurs. Join us for a reading and discussion with Nobel Laureate Orhan Pamuk about his new novel, Nights of Plague.
