Program Description
Event Details
This month we'll be discussing Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar.
An alcoholic, addict, and poet, Cyrus Shams, the orphaned son of Iranian immigrants, finds his obsession with martyrs leading him to examine the mysteries of his past and to a terminally ill painter living out her final days in the Brooklyn Museum.
All are welcome, whether you read in print, braille, audio, or simply want to join the conversation. Engage in whatever way feels comfortable for you.
Request the book from the Talking Book & Braille Service.
Find Martyr! in the library catalog.
