Writers Bloc Presents, Apeirogon, a novel authored by one of Ireland's great novelists and National Book Award-winning Colum McCann and hosted by David Ulin -- Tuesday, March 10, 2020, 7:30pm at the Skirball Cultural Center.The Skirball Cultural Center and Writers Bloc present Colum McCann with David Ulin.
Colum McCann, one of Ireland’s great novelists, might have set his new novel in Ireland, on the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland. But his new novel, Apeirogon (a shape with a countable number of infinite sides), moves to Israel and Palestine and explores the unlikely friendship between two fathers, one Israeli, one Palestinian, who have lost their young daughters to shattering violence: the Israeli child to a suicide bomb, and the Palestinian child to rubber bullets. The fathers recognize each other’s unspeakable grief, and forge a profound friendship built on history, culture, time, and the yearning for peace. Colum McCann is the author of such magnificent novels as TransAtlantic and Let the Great World Spin. He has won the National Book Award, among a host of other prestigious international literary prizes.
In conversation with David Ulin. David is the former book critic for the Los Angeles Times, and is the author of many books, including “Sidewalking: Coming to Terms with Los Angeles,” “The
Lost Art of Reading: Why Books Matter in a Distracted Time,” and others. He is the editor of several anthologies, including the award winning “Writing Los Angeles: A Literary Anthology.”
NOTE: Joining Colum McCann and David Ulin will be the fathers of the two young girls who were killed, the fathers who inspired Colum to write his novel. Rami Elhanan, a seventh generation Israeli and Jerusalemite, is the father of Smadar, who was killed by Palestinian suicide bombers when she was 9 years old. Former Palestinian resistance fighter Bassam Aramim’s 10 year old daughter Abir was killed by an Israeli soldier outside her school. Bassam is now pursuing a Ph.D. in Holocaust Studies. The fathers have joined together in grief and dedication to peace and reconcilation to co-direct Parents Circle Family Forum.
