Colum McCann's most ambitious work to date, Apeirogon--named for a shape with a countably infinite number of sides--is a tour de force concerning friendship, love, loss, and belonging. Bassam Aramin is Palestinian. Rami Elhanan is Israeli. They inhabit a world of conflict that colors every aspect of their daily lives, from the roads they are allowed to drive on to the schools their daughters, Abir and Smadar, each attend, to the checkpoints both physical and emotional that they must negotiate. Their worlds shift irreparably after ten-year-old old Abir is killed by a rubber bullet and thirteen-year-old Smadar becomes the victim of suicide bombers. When Bassam and Rami learn of one another's stories, they recognize the loss that connects them and they attempt to use their grief as a weapon for peace. McCann crafts Apeirogon out of a universe of fictional and non-fictional material. He crosses centuries and continents, stitching time, art, history, nature, and politics together in a tale both heartbreaking and hopeful. Musical, cinematic, muscular, delicate, and soaring, Apeirogon is a novel for our times.

Waging a fierce competition for which they have trained since childhood, circus magicians Celia and Marco unexpectedly fall in love with each other and share a fantastical romance that manifests in fateful ways.

Oksa Pollock siempre pensó que era una adolescente de trece años como las demás, pero todo eso cambió después de aquella noche.... Oksa y su familia se acaban de mudar a Londres. Han alquilado una casita victoriana en la que viven todos: Oksa y sus padres en las dos primeras plantas, y su abuela en el ático. Oksa está nerviosa porque todo es nuevo, pero por suerte su mejor amigo, Gus, también se ha mudado a la capital y son vecinos. Cuando Oksa empieza en el nuevo instituto, descubre que están pasando cosas extrañas en su habitación. ¡Oksa descubre que tiene superpoderes! Su excéntrica abuela Dragomira, le revela un increíble secreto: la familia Pollock proviene de Edefia, un mundo invisible escondido en algún lugar de la tierra. Oksa es su ultima esperanza de recuperar la tierra perdida y volver a su hogar. Una historia fantástica. De la autoedición a lapublicación por XO: mediante cartas a editoriales y a revistas, un joven fan se quejó del desinterés hacia la serie por parte de las editoriales. Otros se sumaron y finalmente, la revista Nouvel Observateur se tomó la indignación en serio: publicó las cartas de protesta y un artículo sobre el fenómeno de la Pollockmanía en su página web. La fama se debe a los jóvenes fans: los Pollockmaniacos se organizaron en foros y blogs en internet y difundieron la novela.
