A quite extraordinary novelColum McCann has found the form and voice to tell the most complex of stories, with an unexpected friendship between two men at its powerfully beating heart.Kamila Shamsie, author of Home Fire
FINALIST FOR THE DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE WINNER OF THE NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Independent The New York Public Library Library Journal
Bassam Aramin is PalestinianRami Elhanan is Israeli. They inhabit a world of conflict that colors every aspect of their lives, from the roads they are allowed to drive on to the schools their children attend to the checkpoints, both physical and emotional, they must negotiate.
But their lives, however circumscribed, are upended one after the other: first, Ramis thirteen-year-old daughter, Smadar, becomes the victim of suicide bombers; a decade later, Bassams ten-year-old daughter, Abir, is killed by a rubber bulletRami and Bassam had been raised to hate one another. And yet, when they learn of each others stories, they recognize the loss that connects them. Together they attempt to use their grief as a weapon for peaceand with their one small act, start to permeate what has for generations seemed an impermeable conflict.
This extraordinary novel is the fruit of a seed planted when the novelist Colum McCann met the real Bassam and Rami on a trip with the non-profit organization Narrative 4McCann was moved by their willingness to share their stories with the world, by their hope that if they could see themselves in one another, perhaps others could too.
With their blessing, and unprecedented access to their families, lives, and personal recollections, McCann began to craft Apeirogon, which uses their real-life stories to begin anotherone that crosses centuries and continents, stitching together time, art, history, nature, and politics in a tale both heartbreaking and hopefulThe result is an ambitious novel, crafted out of a universe of fictional and nonfictional material, with these fathers moving story at its heart.
