In conversation with Colum McCann

Irish writer Colum McCann’s latest novel is a soul changing book about how two men use their grief as a weapon for peace.

I spoke with Irish author Colum McCann about his latest novel ‘Apeirogon’ for Brisbane Writers Festival. The novel is a fusion of fiction and fact and tells the story of two fathers, one Palestinian and one Israel, brought together by grief. Colum McCann also co-founded Narrative4 who use story exchanges to encourage understanding and bring different cultures together.
