Spoiler Disclaimer: This episode contains detailed discussion of the plot and characters of Martyr!
Our Book of the Month to reflect on is Martyr! by Kaveh Akbara.
A story that forces us to confront the weight of attention, grief, and meaning in our own lives with characters that define what matters, how their choices of where to place attention shape the novel’s themes, and what lessons we can draw for wellness, identity, and connection.
A very special shoutout goes to @ShawneeAtTheLake for putting this book in my hands. Martyr! landed like an immense slap in the face—demanding not passive reading but active reflection, both literary and personal.
