In vivid, poetic prose, Nancy Kricorian\u2019s The Burning Heart of the World<\/em>\u00a0tells 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,\u00a0The Burning Heart of the World<\/em>\u00a0is a sweeping saga that takes readers on an epic journey from the mountains of Cilicia to contemporary New York City.<\/p>\n

About the author:<\/strong>
\nNancy Kricorian is the author of the novels\u00a0Zabelle<\/em>,\u00a0Dreams of Bread and Fire<\/em>, and\u00a0All The Light There Was<\/em>, focused on post-genocide Armenian diaspora life. She has taught at Barnard, Columbia, Yale, and New York University, as well as with Teacher & Writers Collaborative in the New York City Public Schools and for the Palestine Writing Workshop in Birzeit. She has been the recipient of a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship, a Gold Medal from the Writers Union of Armenia, and the Anahid Literary Award. She lives in New York City.<\/p>\n
