BookBar BookClub: Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar

Sign up, receive your book in advance of the book club with plenty of time to read it, send in the questions and discussion points you'd like us to talk about, and join a vitual interview with the author, in which we'll discuss the book.
 
January's BookBar BookClub author is Kaveh Akbar, discussing his New York Times bookseller Martyr!.
 
Cyrus Shams has always been lost. He’s grown up tangled in the mysteries of his past – an uncle who rode through Iranian battlefields, a haunting work of art by an exiled painter, and his mother, whose plane was shot down over the Persian Gulf when he was just a baby. Now, newly sober and maybe in love, he’s headed for an encounter that will transform everything he thought he knew. Can a final revelation change the truth of Cyrus's life?
 
Read a paperback copy of Martyr! and and join us for a virtual interview with the author, Kaveh Akbar on Monday 10th February 2025.
