The Agudas Achim book group is meeting on Sunday, 1/22/23 at 6:15 PM on zoom.
Our book is APEIROGON by Colum McCann.
Real-life events form the seed of “Apeirogon.” Bassam Aramin, a Palestinian Muslim, and Rami Elhanan, an Israeli Jew, each lost a daughter in the conflict between their peoples. In the review from the New York Times, Julie Orringer writes that “McCann’s brilliant act of novel-making builds a wholly believable and infinitely faceted reality around Rami’s and Bassam’s first-person accounts, a rich and comprehensive context that allows us into the fathers’ experiences, their histories, their minds.”
