Each month, we will meet to discuss a different book by an Asian diaspora writer or about Asian diaspora issues. We welcome anyone who enjoys thoughtful conversation surrounding Asian diaspora issues and stories.

This month, our book is Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar, and we will be meeting at Dear Globe Coffee.

Book description (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/139400713-martyr):

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.
