Here’s a summary of Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar:

In this NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, Cyrus Shams, a newly sober, orphaned son of Iranian immigrants, embarks on a remarkable search for a family secret. Guided by the voices of artists, poets, and kings, he unravels the mysteries of his past. His mother’s plane was shot down over the Persian Gulf, and his father’s life in America was defined by work at a factory farm¹.

As Cyrus delves into his family history, he encounters an uncle who rode through Iranian battlefields as the angel of death, inspiring and comforting the dying. A painting discovered in a Brooklyn art gallery hints that his mother may not have been who she seemed. Set against the backdrop of the Brooklyn Museum, Martyr! is electrifying, funny, and wholly original—a must-read that heralds the arrival of an essential new voice in contemporary fiction¹²³.
