An Evening with Kaveh Akbar and Joseph Earl Thomas: Martyr!
Akbar will be in conversation with award-winning author Joseph Earl Thomas. This event is free and open to the public.
Kaveh Akbar’s Martyr! is an ode to how we spend our lives seeking meaning—in faith, art, ourselves, others. A 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.
To enter the signing line, books must be purchased from the Midtown Scholar Bookstore. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event, or you may preorder a copy of the book for pickup/shipment.
