AWW21 Apeirogon - Colum McCann

Colum McCann’s profoundly moving masterpiece, Apeirogon, is based
on a true story of a friendship between “An Israeli, against the
Occupation. A Palestinian, studying the Holocaust.” United by the
devastation of losing a daughter to political violence, Bassam
Aramin and Rami Elhanan together tell their daughters’ stories
over and over, to anyone that will listen, in an attempt to bring
a peaceful resolution to the endless conflict. Colum’s radically
empathetic novel is infused with both desperate hope and poetic
power.
