From Celebrated Irish Writer Colum Mccann Comes A Dazzling New Novel Set In Occupied Palestine And Israel. In An Astonishing Act Of The Imagination, Mccann Illuminates The Political Situation That Has Riven The Region For More Than Seventy Years In A Completely New Light. Using A Fascinating Blend Of Real Events And People, He Fictionalizes Their Stories. As The Author Says, This Is A Hybrid Novel With Invention At Its Core, A Work Of Storytelling Which, Like All Storytelling, Weaves Together Elements Of Speculation, Memory, Fact And Imagination. Mccann Tells The Story Of Bassam Aramin, A Palestinian, And Rami Elhanan, An Israeli, And How They Came Together After The Terrible Loss Of Both Of Their Daughters, One To Suicide Bombers And The Other To Israeli Police. Parents From Both Sides Who Have Lost Loved Ones Gather Together In A Parents Circle To Tell Their Stories, To Heal, And To Never Forget Their Unimaginable Losses. Deploying A Myriad Of Seemingly Unrelated Historical, Cultural And Biographical Snapshots, This Highly Original And Inventive Novel Reframes The Never-ending Israeli-palestinian Conflict. The Result Is A Breath-taking Narrative Based On Events That Actually Happened. Mccann Says, Bassam And Rami Have Allowed Me To Shape And Reshape Their Worlds. Despite These Liberties, I Hope To Remain True To The Actual Realities Of Their Shared Experiences. Apeirogon Is A Completely Mesmerizing Novel. Driven By A Compelling Voice, Colum Mccann Has Written A Powerful And Haunting Narrative That Is Simply Masterful In Its Universal Implications.
