A conversation with
award-winning author Colum McCann and St. Thomas President Rob Vischer |
For the next event in our Finding Forward speaker series, we’ll welcome award-winning author Colum McCann to talk with University of St. Thomas President Rob Vischer. McCann is the author of seven novels and three collections of short stories. Apeirogon explores the conflict in the Middle East through the story of two men who each lost a daughter. One is Palestinian, the other Israeli. In our upcoming conversation, McCann will help us explore peacemaking, grieving, and storytelling. He’ll also offer ideas on how we can overcome divisiveness and find connection in today’s climate. |
