Take Note: Author And State College Native Sunil Yapa Talks About His Debut Novel

Sunil Yapa, author of "Your Heart is a Muscle the Size of a Fist"

State College native Sunil Yapa begins and ends his highly acclaimed debut novel on a single day in November 1999…the day some 50,000 protestors took to the streets of Seattle, Washington, to demonstrate the World Trade Organization’s conference.  Critics call the book a “literary Molotov cocktail,“ and “a love letter to humanity.”
