Author Talk with Nancy Kricorian

https://nancykricorian.net/ In vivid, poetic prose Nancy Kricorian’s THE BURNING HEART OF THE WORLD tells the story of a Beirut Armenian family before, during, and after the Lebanese Civil War. Returning to the fabular tone of ZABELLE, her popular first novel, Kricorian conjures up the lost worlds and intergenerational traumas that haunt a family in permanent exile. Leavened with humor and imbued with the timelessness of a folktale, THE BURNING HEART OF THE WORLD is a sweeping saga that takes readers on an epic journey from the mountains of Cilicia to contemporary New York City. “Like colorful miniatures—from a childhood of elders haunted by the Armenian genocide, to girlhood and adolescence amidst war in Beirut, to marriage and children in New York at the time of 9/11—Nancy Kricorian finds just the right scale to bring her heroine’s passage to vivid, reverberating life.” —Aram Saroyan “An arrestingly beautiful novel of how families draw us together, but also push us apart. Set amidst the backdrop of displacement and war, THE BURNING HEART OF THE WORLD illuminates how we carry history deep into even the most forgotten corners of ourselves. Once you start reading about Vera and her family you won’t be able to put this book down.” —Marie Myung-Ok Lee, Author of The Evening Hero
