Colum McCann in Conversation With Ronan McCann

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland

In his daring, symphonic new novel, Colum McCann, National Book Award-winning author of Let the Great World Spin, tells an epic story rooted in the real-life friendship between two men united by loss. McCann crafts Apeirogon (Random House) out of a universe of fictional and nonfictional material crossing centuries and continents, stitching time, art, history, nature, and politics together in a tale both heartbreaking and hopeful. Musical, cinematic, muscular, delicate, and soaring, Apeirogon is a novel for our times. McCann will be joined in conversation by his brother, Ronan McCann.
