Apeirogon

by Colum McCann

In a moving act, Rami and Bassam decide to use their grief as a weapon for peace. Have you ever experienced a time in your own life when you channeled your sadness or anger toward a more positive goal?

At one point in the novel it is said, “If you divide death by life, you will find a circle.” What do you think this quote means? How does this concept apply to the story?

Is the search for consequence endless? Might the book be suggesting that the original consequence or consequences belong within us?
