Kaveh Akbar
Martyr!
Martyr!
A very engaging story that builds momentum so that by the end you just can't put it down. Without spoilers it's about a young American Iranian who is a recovering addict obsessed by martyrdom (not his necessarily) presumably a result of his mother when he was new born (so never knew her) being on a passenger flight that was blown out of the sky by the American military. There are twists in the plot some of which you have a hunch about and others which you think you may come across that don't materialise. If that makes sense? A brilliant read with an ending that... well I said I wouldn't give any spoilers. The more interesting given the current war between USA / Israel and Iran. Unfortunately.
