SUMMARY:BABEL | Kaveh Akbar
DESCRIPTION:Just Buffalo Literary Center presents\nBABEL featuring Kaveh Akbar\nThursday\, November 19\, 2026\n7:30 pm\nDoors open at 6:30 p.m.\nAuthor Reception for Premium Access ticketholders starts at 6:30pm \nJoin Just Buffalo Literary Center’s BABEL Author Series for an evening with Kaveh Akbar. \nKaveh Akbar is an acclaimed poet\, novelist\, and editor whose work grapples with questions of faith\, addiction\, belonging\, and the search for meaning. His highly anticipated debut novel\, Martyr!\, became an instant New York Times bestseller and was named a TIME Must-Read Book of the Year. Praised by literary luminaries including Tommy Orange\, Lauren Groff\, John Green\, and Roxane Gay\, Martyr! tells the story of Cyrus Shams\, a newly sober son of Iranian immigrants navigating addiction\, grief\, and a family mystery that carries him from the battlefields of Iran to the art galleries of Brooklyn. Electrifying\, funny\, and deeply humane\, the novel heralds the arrival of a vital new voice in contemporary fiction. \nIn his talks\, Akbar brings the same searching intelligence\, vulnerability\, and lyric precision that define his writing. He speaks powerfully on the subjects of creativity\, spirituality\, identity\, and recovery\, weaving together personal narrative with broader cultural and historical context. His  lecture and staged conversation offers audiences profound reflections on art as a tool for survival\, how language shapes belonging\, and the universal human desire for transcendence. \nBorn in Tehran and raised in the Midwest\, Akbar is the Roy J. Carver Professor of English at the University of Iowa.
