Join us on Dec 3, 2020 at 05:30 PM Indiana (East) for a lively discussion of The Yellow Birds by Kevin Powers, a writer, poet and Iraq War veteran. Winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award, the Guardian First Book Award, and a finalist for the National Book Award, this powerful debut novel centers on a soldier fighting in the Iraqi War and what awaits him when he returns to civilian life in Virginia.
John Burnside, the reviewer for The Guardian called this book “essential reading.” He adds: “while few will have expected the war in Iraq to bring forth a novel that can stand beside All Quiet on the Western Front or The Red Badge of Courage, The Yellow Birds does just that, for our time, as those books did for theirs.”
This meeting will be held virtually via Zoom. Please sign up here. To receive a copy of the book, contact Rhonda Culbertson at: rculbert@iusb.edu
