Apeirogon: The Until We Talk Tour 

Rolling Sun Book Festival is honoured to present an unforgettable evening with Colum McCann, internationally acclaimed author, in conversation with Rami Elhanan and Bassam Aramin,  the two bereaved fathers whose extraordinary friendship across the Israeli-Palestinian divide inspired McCann’s celebrated novel Apeirogon. 

At a time of deepening conflict and polarisation, their voices offer a powerful reminder of the possibility of dialogue, connection, and healing across divides. The conversation will be interwoven with music from local artists bringing depth and poignancy to this evening of story, song, and solidarity. 

The trio will speak about the book and the lived reality behind it—shining a light on the work of the Parents Circle, a grassroots organisation of bereaved Israeli and Palestinian families committed to peace. As Ireland welcomes these voices of courage and reconciliation, the call to widen and support the “parents circle” resonates with urgency and hope, reminding us that even in the darkest moments, there is a path toward mutual understanding. 

Join us for this unique gathering of courage, grief, and hope and witness how storytelling can illuminate the path toward reconciliation, even in the darkest of times.
