I loved this book so much. One of my favorites this year. There's a mentor-like character who starts as a small character, then becomes more and more (and more) profound in ways that, as a reader, I never anticipated. So recommend.

I loved this book! Engaging and fresh. Exciting writing from a new-to-me author @kavehakbar.bsky.social

I was sold as soon as I saw the cover blurb by another favorite writer @tommyorange.bsky.social

7.95/10 I really enjoyed this book and think it’s worth the read. Very poetic, but left with some questions…which might be the point?

Thought I’ll take a reading break - to be honest I need time to process Hisham Matar’s The Return, and I have a migraine - turns out half a day in the real world is more than I can take. So. Here we are.

#Martyr! might be one of the best books I've read this year. Beautiful, lyrical- though I was surprised that people interpret the ending very differently from what I did. #kavehakbar #bookreview #substack

Not sure how I feel about this book. Bits in there I quite liked - but I suppose anything was going to feel underwhelming after Hisham Matar. (Happy to report I’ve ordered more of his books, obvs -)
