“Distinguished by empathy and intelligence, this transformative novel marks a new threshold of writing about the conflict. Apeirogon will have a potent effect on all those who read it and, remarkably, could lead to great consequences for the future of this place.”—Raja Shehadeh, author of Going Home: A Walk Through Fifty Years of Occupation
“A work of incredible magnitude . . . McCann finds the emotional accuracy, the sensitivity, and the beauty to tell the heartbreaking reality of life in Israel-Palestine, while allowing readers a glimmer of necessary hope.”—Assaf Gavron, author of The Hilltop
“This is a wondrous book. In an accretion of splendid detail, Colum McCann writes with an amazing abundance of humanity as he describes the age-old story of inhumanity to man. The effect is absolutely staggering—it will bring you to your knees. Writing at the top of his game, McCann brings us a book that we sorely need. It left me hopeful; this is its gift. What a read!”—Elizabeth Strout, author of Olive, Again
“Devotees of Colum McCann will find Apeirogon teeming with everything they have come to expect from his work: gorgeous prose; a sweeping look at the paradoxical relationship between history and private life; a penetrating examination of the deficiencies and marvels of the human spirit. This book will break your heart and make you rethink how storytelling works.”—Téa Obreht, author of Inland
“Every significant novel is an act of reckless originality. Apeirogon is nothing like any book you’ve ever read. Think of discovering an entirely unprecedented, and profoundly true, narrative form. Think about feeling that the very idea of the novel, of what it can be and what it’s capable of containing, has been expanded, forever.”—Michael Cunningham, author of The Snow Queen
“This beautiful, deeply felt book is first and foremost an extraordinary act of listening.”—Nathan Englander, author of What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank
“A soaring, ambitious triumph . . . deeply nuanced and sensitive . . . a remarkable achievement . . . McCann’s latest novel may be his finest yet.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“[A] masterful novel . . . Balancing its dazzling intellectual breadth with moments of searing intimacy, this is a transformative vision of a historic conflict and a triumph of the novelist’s art.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
