Sunil Yapa
Sunil Yapa’s highly-anticipated first novel is “Your Heart Is a Muscle the Size of a Fist.” According to the Washington Post, the book “ultimately does for WTO protests what Norman Mailer’s “Armies of the Night” did for the 1967 March on the Pentagon, gathering that confrontation in competing visions of what happened and what it meant.” The biracial son of a Sri Lankan father and a mother from Montana, Yapa has lived in many locations around the world, including Greece, Guatemala, Chile, Argentina, China, India, London, Montreal, and New York City.
