"Becoming an earth martyr. It made sense, and then suddenly it didn't."
Martyr! is surely one of the best books I have read in my life. Through the story of Cyrus, a recovering alcoholic obsessed by the idea of martyrdom, Kaveh Akbar weaves a story about addiction, grief, friendship and grace. There is so much grace and beauty in this book, so much love and desperation to learn about the meaning of life and death, after the loss of someone, that I just fell completely in love with the writing and the characters.
It's Akbar's first novel - he's also a poet - and I sure will be following his next works now.
