Nancy Kricorian presents The Burning Heart of the World
In conversation with Raffi Khatchadourian
NYC-based Armenian author Nancy Kricorian presents The Burning Heart of the World—a sweeping saga that takes readers on an epic journey from the mountains of Cilicia to contemporary New York City. Leavened with humor and imbued with the timelessness of a folktale, 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 fabulist tone of her popular debut Zabelle, Kricorian conjures up the lost worlds and intergenerational traumas that haunt a family in permanent exile. The New Yorker staff writer Raffi Khatchadourian joins Kricorian on stage for an in-depth discussion on the book, before an audience Q&A and signing.
