Hes grown up tangled in the mysteries of his past an uncle who rode through Iranian battlefields, a haunting work of art by an exiled painter, and his mother, whose plane was shot down over the Persian Gulf when he was just a baby.

Can a final revelation change the truth of Cyrus’s life?Electrifying, funny, and all-consuming, Kaveh Akbar’s Martyr! is a masterpiece.
