Apeirògon is a novel by author Colum McCann, published in 2021 by L'Altra Editorial. The novel, translated by Marta Pera Cucurell, tells the story of Rami Elhanan and Bassam Aramin, two men who live near each other but inhabit completely different worlds. Both men have lost their daughters and, against all odds, become friends and decide to put their pain at the service of peace. Narrated in a thousand and one short and poignant vignettes that often take on a cinematic flight, and traces the life of Rami and Bassam, and the unlikely friendship that unites them, while telling us about the experience of crossing a checkpoint on the road, surviving prison, the migrations of birds and the marks of bullets, among many other things.
