July's Bingo Book Club: Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar

**[Martyr!](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/139400713-martyr) by Kaveh Akbar** 📖 336 pages *(approx.)* Genre: Literary Fiction • Contemporary • Philosophical **Summary:** Haunted by loss and searching for meaning, Cyrus Shams is a young poet grappling with grief, addiction, and the legacy of his Iranian heritage. Orphaned by tragedy and untethered in his adulthood, he becomes obsessed with martyrs—those who die for a cause—and what it means to live a life worth sacrificing. As Cyrus spirals through art, memory, and self-destruction, *Martyr!* unfolds as a raw, lyrical exploration of identity, faith, and the fragile line between despair and transcendence. It’s a bold, intimate novel about longing to matter in a world that often feels indifferent. *** **Join Our Book Club Bingo! 🧿📚** For July, we’re diving into something introspective, intense, and thought-provoking. Expect existential questions, messy humanity, and plenty of moments perfect for ticking off your Bingo card. **How It Works:** 🧿 **Grab Your Bingo Card:** Filled with themes of grief, identity, addiction, art, and moments of existential crisis. ✅ **Mark Your Cards:** Check off squares as we discuss quotes, character struggles, philosophical ideas, and emotional turning points. 🎉 **Shout “Bingo!”** Be the first to complete two rows, columns, or diagonals. 📚 **Win a Book:** Two readers will leave with a new addition to their TBR pile! Expect poetic chaos, uncomfortable truths, dark humour, and a search for meaning that hits a little too close to home. 📍 The Dog on Surrey Street, Croydon 📅 8th of July at 7:00 PM

Members can also confirm by email or text. **Session Fee** £14 per session Includes premium feather shuttles. **Payment** Please pay at the start of the session.
