Description
Cyrus Shams has always been lost, his life tangled in the mysteries of his past. His uncle rode through Iranian battlefields, a haunting work of art by an exiled painter hangs in the shadows, and his mother's 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. A final revelation may change the truth of Cyrus's life, but the past is complex and multifaceted. Kaveh Akbar's prose is both electrifying and funny, all-consuming and profound. This is a story about identity, family, and the power of art to heal and transform. Martyr! is a masterpiece of contemporary literature, a kaleidoscopic exploration of the human experience.
