Notes
Description
Cyrus Shams is a young man grappling with an inheritance of violence and loss: his mother�s plane was shot down over the skies of the Persian Gulf in a senseless accident; and his father�s life in America was circumscribed by his work killing chickens at a factory farm in the Midwest. Cyrus is a drunk, an addict, and a poet, whose obsession with martyrs leads him to examine the mysteries of his past�toward an uncle who rode through Iranian battlefields dressed as the angel of death to inspire and comfort the dying, and toward his mother, through a painting discovered in a Brooklyn art gallery that suggests she may not have been who or what she seemed.
