April Book Club Meetup

Welcome, readers!

Our April read is Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar.

The story follows a young Iranian American poet grappling with grief, addiction, and the aching question of what makes a life meaningful. Drawn into an unexpected friendship with a terminally ill artist, he begins to confront faith, love, and the seduction of self-destruction. Lyrical, darkly funny, and emotionally piercing, the novel wrestles with beauty and despair in equal measure. It’s a story about longing—to be seen, to be forgiven, and to matter.

Looking forward to discussing with everyone!

We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but drinks must be purchased at the bar.

Happy reading! 📖
