Sunset Park Book Discussion: Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar
Join us in February for a discussion of Kaveh Akbar's acclaimed debut novel Martyr!
A newly sober, orphaned son of Iranian immigrants, guided by the voices of artists, poets, and kings, embarks on a remarkable search for a family secret that leads him to a terminally ill painter living out her final days in the Brooklyn Museum.
Kaveh Akbar’s Martyr! is a paean to how we spend our lives seeking meaning—in faith, art, ourselves, others.
