Best Of: Jon Batiste's 'Beethoven Blues' / Visual Artist Mickalene Thomas
Maureen Corrigan
Nobody nails the soft melancholy of the human condition like Strout, and that's a phrase she would never write because her style is so understated. Martyr is Iranian-American poet Kaveh Akbar's debut novel about a young man named Cyrus Shams struggling to make sense of the violent death of his mother and other martyrs, accidental or deliberate, throughout history.
