  1. 1. Your Heart Is A Muscle The Size Of A Fist

    Set during the 1999 WTO protests in Seattle, the novel follows a cast of characters — including a restless young man drawn into the demonstrations, activists, police, and ordinary residents — as their lives collide in escalating unrest. Through shifting perspectives it dramatizes the chaos of the protests and probes themes of race, class, trauma, and the moral costs of political engagement, asking how moments of collective fury and violence reshape identity, loyalty, and compassion.
