Twist: Book Tour Dates

Here are the dates for Colum McCann’s Twist book tour.

Video Trailer for Apeirogon

This is the first in a series of short videos where Colum McCann talks about his new novel, Apeirogon. “A work of incredible magnitude . . . McCann finds the emotional accuracy, the sensitivity, and the beauty to tell the heartbreaking reality of life in Israel-Palestine, while allowing readers a glimmer of necessary hope. Apeirogon is greater…

Welcome to the Newsletter

The good folks at Random House asked me to do an occasional newsletter in the run-up to my new novel, APEIROGON, a glimpse behind the curtain, a step behind the pages, to give a little glance into my world.

Praise for Apeirogon

“Every significant novel is an act of reckless originality. Colum McCann’s Apeirogon is nothing like any book you’ve ever read.

Think of discovering an entirely unprecedented, and profoundly true, narrative form. Think about feeling that the very idea of the novel, of what it can be and what it’s capable of containing, has been expanded, forever.”—Michael Cunningham, New York Times bestselling author of The Snow Queen

Apeirogon Tour

Apeirogon goes on sale on Feb 25th and tour dates in February and March will include New York, Boston, Portland Oregon, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Mississippi, Ann Arbor Michigan, San Diego, Montclaire New Jersey and more! Also Ireland and England, followed by Australia in May!! Also Edinburgh in August!

WTC Provides Back Story For Colum McCann’s ‘Spin’

“What I was most interested in was not so much Philip Petit but the people who were on the ground, the people who walk the sort-of little tightrope of our ordinary everyday moments,” McCann says. The reactions of McCann’s main characters to the stunt range from gripping fear that the tight-rope walker will fall, to…
