Join us for Lit Youngstown's Food for Thought book discussion on the 2nd Thursday, Sept.-May, at 5:30pm at Noble Creature, 126 E. Rayen. Haven't read the book yet? No worries.
The March title is Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar. This book is available at the Public Library of Youngstown & Mahoning County, and POP! Art Books Culture via Bookshop.
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.
