En savoir plus sur le livre

YOUR HEART IS A MUSCLE THE SIZE OF A FIST features seven different characters, from various sections of American society, who participate in a protest-turned-riot at the end of the twentieth century (the World Trade Organisation protests in Seattle, 1999). There is scrappy Victor, homeless and estranged from his father, who enters the protest to sell drugs; his father, the police chief of Seattle, busy trying to control an increasingly agitated crowd of thousands of history-making anti-globalisation protestors. Within the crowd are: parents and children who have come to make a stand; a young hot-headed police officer with a point to make; King, a female militant protestor with a murderous secret; and a Sri Lankan delegate who believes he is on his way to meet Bill Clinton. Yapa's brilliant novel explores what it is that makes ordinary people commit anti-establishment acts
