Review apeirogon6/20/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Musical, muscular, delicate and soaring, Apeirogon is the novel for our times. The title of Colum McCann’s 2020 novel gives the reader an indication of the innumerable facets that form this novel. Unlike a pentagon, an apeirogon has an infinite number of sides, or aspects. In this epic novel – named for a shape with a countably infinite number of sides – Colum McCann crosses centuries and continents, stitching time, art, history, nature and politics into a tapestry of friendship, love, loss and belonging.
