BOOK TIP: Apeirogon by Colum McCann
I loved Colum McCann's Let the Great World Spin and Apeirogon is equally exceptional. Based on the real life friendship and heartache of two men, one Israeli and one Palestinian, as they work together to build peace in Israel. The two men share a common grief and use that commonality to fight for a better world for all children. The story is told through short vignettes, personal, historical, and cultural to tell a story with many nuisances and sides, just like an apeirogon, which is a shape with an infinite amount of sides.
