Martyr!: A Novel Middle Grade

Martyr!: A Novel Middle GradeA 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. Kaveh Akbar is one of my favorite writers. Ever.
