New Voices in Fiction: Your Heart is a Muscle the Size of a Fist

January 19, 2016 | 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Free

Harvard Book Store and GrubStreet welcome debut novelist Sunil Yapa for a reading from his book, Your Heart is a Muscle the Size of a Fist, set amid the heated conflict of Seattle’s 1999 WTO protests. Column McCann calls it “a symphony of a novel…which finds, at its core, a deep and abiding regard for the music of what happens….Yapa strives forward with a literary molotov cocktail to light up the dark.” Bustle Magazine’s review says that this new novel “is possibly the most gorgeous book I’ve read in my entire life.”
