Colum McCann

Nato a Dublino nel 1965, è uno scrittore irlandese naturalizzato statunitense. Vive con la famiglia a New York e insegna scrittura creativa all’Hunter College. È riconosciuto a livello internazionale come uno dei massimi romanzieri di lingua inglese degli ultimi decenni. Nel 2009 si è aggiudicato il National Book Award con Questo bacio vada al mondo intero, tradotto in 35 lingue e insignito dei più prestigiosi riconoscimenti letterari mondiali. La sua narrativa ha riscosso unanimi apprezzamenti per la sensibilità nel raccontare le complesse geografie del mondo globalizzato, privilegiando talora lo sguardo di personaggi che vivono ai margini della storia. In Italia sono usciti in passato alcuni suoi romanzi ora fuori catalogo. Apeirogon (traduzione di Marinella Magrì) è edito da Feltrinelli, che sta pubblicando tutte le sue opere. Sono già in libreria TransAtlantico (2021) e Lascia che il mondo giri (2022).
