UUSD Book Club, Monday, October 7

We will discuss Apeirogon: A Novel by Colum McCann; Leader: Sarah Raymond

A New York Times bestseller, this is based on the true-life friendship of two men whose daughters were killed in the Middle East. The story follows two real life figures: an Israeli graphic designer, and a Palestinian scholar and previous political prisoner. Consisting of 1001 short sections, the two central figures bond over the untimely deaths of their respective daughters. Improbably, the fathers on whom this book is based became close friends, supporting each other’s protests and speaking across the world. Called quite an extraordinary novel.

We meet in the gathering area in the church.
