Webinar: Voices of Apeirogon

An Intimate Conversation with Colum McCann and Bereaved Fathers

November 30, 2023

A conversation with renowned Irish author Colum McCann. Colum engaged in a heartfelt dialogue with Rami Elhanan and Bassam Aramin, bereaved fathers from Israel and Palestine, the protagonists of Apeirogon.

In the face of the violence shaking Israel and Palestine, join us to hear from Rami and Bassam, who, despite the pain of loss, still call each other brothers. McCann’s powerful 2020 novel Apeirogon weaves together tales of peace, loss, and reconciliation. The book’s exploration of humanity becomes even more relevant today.
