For our fifth Succeed2gether's Montclair Literary Festival at Home event, don’t miss the chance to hear Colum McCann, National Book Award–winning and bestselling author of Let the Great World Spin, discuss his most ambitious work to date, Apeirogon, an epic novel rooted in the real-life friendship between two men united by loss. McCann will be in conversation with New York Times bestselling author Garth Risk Hallberg.

Apeirogon—named for a shape with a countably infinite number of sides—is a tour de force concerning friendship, love, loss, and belonging.

This is part of Succeed2gether's Montclair Literary Festival at Home series and replaces the event originally planned for Wednesday March 12 at 7:00 pm.

If you are joining the online event only, you can buy Apeirogon from Festival partner Watchung Booksellers here. Shipping or contactless pick-up only.

Succeed2gether’s fourth annual Montclair Literary Festival was scheduled for March 25 to 29, 2020. Due to the current health crisis, Festival Day is now planned for Saturday September 12, 2020. The program will feature around 80 authors in over 30 free events, book talks, children's activities, and more.

The festival is a fundraiser for Montclair-based non-profit Succeed2gether, which offers after-school one-on-one tutoring and enrichment classes with the aim of closing the education opportunity gap in Essex County. You can read more about Succeed2gether and the festival at www.succeed2gether.org.

The festival organizing committee wishes to thank event partners Succeed2gether staff, Montclair Public Library, First Congregational Church, and Watchung Booksellers, and festival sponsors Rao's, Montclair State University, West of Hudson Realty Group, and community members.
