NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR SO FAR FOR 2024 BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW 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. Electrifying, funny, and wholly original, Martyr! heralds the arrival of an essential new voice in contemporary fiction.<\/p>\n

\u201cKaveh Akbar is one of my favorite writers. Ever.\u201d \u2014Tommy Orange, Pulitzer Prize\u2013nominated author of There There<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best novel you’ll ever read about the joy of language, addiction, displacement, martyrdom, belonging, homesickness.\u201d \u2014Lauren Groff, best-selling author of Matrix and Fates and Furies<\/p>\n

Cyrus Shams is a young man grappling with an inheritance of violence and loss: his mother\u2019s plane was shot down over the skies of the Persian Gulf in a senseless accident; and his father\u2019s life in America was circumscribed by his work killing chickens at a factory farm in the Midwest. Cyrus is a drunk, an addict, and a poet, whose obsession with martyrs leads him to examine the mysteries of his past\u2014toward an uncle who rode through Iranian battlefields dressed as the angel of death to inspire and comfort the dying, and toward his mother, through a painting discovered in a Brooklyn art gallery that suggests she may not have been who or what she seemed.<\/p>\n

Kaveh Akbar\u2019s Martyr! is a paean to how we spend our lives seeking meaning\u2014in faith, art, ourselves, others.<\/p>\n
