"I've known Alvin Feinman's poems for more than thirty years now, and some of them are always in my mind and ear: 'Preambles,' 'Pilgrim Heights,' 'This Tree,' 'November Sunday Morning,' 'Circumferences,' and several more. Because his poetry has been so sparse, Feinman found only a small audience, but they have been select, skilled, and faithful readers. The best of his poems stand with the most achieved work of his generation, with the best of Ashbery, Merrill, Ammons, Hollander, and only a few others."—Harold Bloom

&ldquo;Brilliant . . . powerful and prismatic . . . Apeirogon&#160;is an empathy engine, utterly collapsing the gulf between teller and listener. . . . It achieves its aim by merging acts of imagination and extrapolation with historical fact. But it&rsquo;s undisputably a novel, and, to my mind, an exceedingly important one. It does far more than make an argument for peace;&#160;it is, itself, an agent of change.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review&#160;(cover review) &#160; &ldquo;This is a wondrous book.&#160;In an accretion of splendid detail, McCann writes with an amazing abundance of humanity&#160;as he describes the age-old story of inhumanity to man.&#160;The effect is absolutely staggering&mdash;it will bring you to your knees. Writing at the top of his game, McCann brings us a book that we sorely need.&#160;It left me hopeful; this is its gift.&#160;What a read!&rdquo;&mdash;Elizabeth Strout &#160; &ldquo;Virtuosic . . . Colum McCann&rsquo;s grand and exhilarating novel&#160;Apeirogon&#160;is . . . a profound prayer for peace. . . . Apeirogon&#160;reminds us that such incandescent art evokes humility and light in the face of oppression and loss.&rdquo;&mdash;O: The Oprah Magazine &#160;&ldquo;Dazzling . . . hypnotic . . . heartbreaking and mesmerizing . . . Besides the kaleidoscopic brilliance of the narrative, this is also a deeply human story.&rdquo;&mdash;San Francisco Chronicle &ldquo;McCann performs his own epic balancing act between life and art, writing with stunning lyricism and fluent empathy as he traces the ripple effects of violence and grief, beauty, and the miraculous power of friendship and love, valor and truth.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist&#160;(starred review) &#160; &ldquo;Distinguished by empathy and intelligence, this transformative novel marks a new threshold of writing about the conflict.&#160;Apeirogon&#160;will have a potent effect on all those who read it and, remarkably, could lead to great consequences for the future of this place.&rdquo;&mdash;Raja Shehadeh, author of&#160;Palestinian Walks&#160;&#160; &#160; &ldquo;A work of incredible magnitude . . . McCann finds the emotional accuracy, the sensitivity, and the beauty to tell the heartbreaking reality of life in Israel-Palestine, while allowing readers a glimmer of necessary hope.&rdquo;&mdash;Assaf Gavron, author of&#160;The Hilltop&#160; &#160; &ldquo;A soaring, ambitious triumph . . . deeply nuanced and sensitive . . . a remarkable achievement . . . McCann&rsquo;s latest novel might be his finest yet.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&#160;(starred review)

A BOOKLIST "TOP 10 FIRST NOVEL""In Ms. Gabel&rsquo;s terrifically entertaining debut, the frictions of long-term friendships are woven into the &ldquo;webbed, collaborative endeavor&rdquo; of the quartet. Their music doesn&rsquo;t transcend the mess of living; it testifies to it."&#160;&mdash;The Wall Street Journal"Pitch-perfect."&#160;&mdash;People"Reminded me of Zadie Smith's Swing Time... The language that Gabel uses to describe both the pressures of prestige chamber orchestras and, simply, what it is to be a human in the world, is a work of art in and of itself. I found myself highlighting dozens of passages, marveling at just how impossibly relatable these people are... [I]t's the perfect form of escapism for me."&#160;&mdash;Entertainment Weekly"This lilting, richly detailed story follows a group of friends&#160;&mdash; also a string quartet&#160;&mdash; as they grow and change together thoughout adulthood. Told from alternative perspectives, it gives us a riveting look inside the world of classical musicians and an intimate study of friendships."&#160;&mdash;Marie Claire"Phenomenal first novel....&#160;The Ensemble is really a love story. Love of music. Love of friends. Love of family. The genius here is that the reader becomes a part of the ensemble, too, so immersed in these people, that to call them characters seems a disservice. Like them, we feel the pull of time, the need for the music. In the brilliant coda, after we have become very aware of them as individuals, their lives are once again part of one single whole, and here, are collectively narrated, with the yearning of nostalgia.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;San Francisco Chronicle"Gabel's rich characters and melodic prose (fitting for a story about professional chamber musicians) make the novel a satisfying read. Comparisons to Meg Wolitzer's The Interestings are apt."&#160;&mdash;Real Simple"[A]bsolutely sublime...&#160;Mark our words: you won&rsquo;t be able to put this exquisite book down."&#160;&mdash;Refinery29"A page-turner of a debut....&#160;The Ensemble&#160;is set in the world of classical music (so, yes, this is a good book for all you&#160;Mozart in the Jungle&#160;fans) and tracks the way the friends, who comprise the Van Ness Quartet, navigate their youthful inexperience, riotous success, professional failures, and all of the other things that come with sky-rocketing ambition and a reliance on other people."&#160;&mdash;Nylon"I fell so hard for the four friends in Aja Gabel&rsquo;s debut novel, which follows a young, ambitious string quartet as they try to sort out their complicated relationships to music and each other. The last time I wanted characters to be real this badly&mdash;or, you know, felt like they were&mdash;was when Lauren Groff&rsquo;s&#160;Fate and Furies&#160;came out.&#160;The Ensemble&#160;is about desire, disappointment and success, betrayal and loyalty, and the ways that our friendships shape the people we become. You won&rsquo;t be able to quit these characters."&#160;&mdash;goop"Stunningly resonant... With remarkable assurance, Gabel takes the four [characters] through their shaky early performances and expertly ties their individual and collective lives together with generous doses of empathy... A virtuoso performance."&#160;&mdash;Booklist (STARRED review)"Gabel explores friendship and art with great warmth, humanity, and wisdom."&#160;&mdash;Library Journal&#160;(STARRED review)"Wonderful....&#160;The four characters are individually memorable, but as a quartet they&rsquo;re unforgettable.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&#160;(STARRED review)"Aja Gabel&rsquo;s ambitious debut novel is a beautiful study of just how apt a metaphor classical music is for relationships."&#160;&mdash;New York magazine's Vulture"Aja Gabel's debut novel&#160;centers around the four friends who make up the Van Ness Quartet: Brit, Daniel, Henry, and Jana, each wildly different but electric together despite the ups and downs of their career in music.&#160;Gabel examines the intricate complexities of their intense friendship, loyalties, and ambitions over a decade and a half in this book, which itself reads quite like a lyrical composition. You'll come for the music and stay for Gabel's realistic portrait of modern friendship."&#160;&mdash;Buzzfeed"Aja Gabel's powerful debut offers a sensitive portrait of four young musicians forging their paths through life: sometimes at odds with each other, sometimes in harmony, but always inextricably linked by their shared pasts." &mdash;Celeste Ng, New York Times bestselling author of Everything I Never Told You and Little Fires Everywhere"With uncommon clarity and empathy, Aja Gabel brings us inside the passionate, complex, and sometimes cutthroat intimacy that exists among the four members of a string quartet. A wise and powerful novel about love, life, and music. I didn't want it to end." &mdash;Maggie Shipstead, New York Times bestselling author of Seating Arrangements and Astonish Me&ldquo;Sweeping, romantic, elegiac, The Ensemble gives you the feeling of being inside the music of a quartet, a look into the relationships under the music, the love and heartbreak, set against their ruthless commitment to both their art, and to each other. Aja Gabel is a phenomenon.&rdquo;&mdash;Alexander Chee, author of The Queen of the Night and How to Write an Autobiographical Novel"Compelling."&#160;&mdash;Town & Country&ldquo;The Ensemble deserves a standing ovation.&#160;A gripping tale of four musician's journeys through discord and harmony, life and love.&#160;Aja Gabel is a brilliant young writer with the rare gift of an old soul."&mdash;Mat Johnson, author of Pym and Loving Day"I often admire novels that are platforms for their writers' own stories, upon which their own singular character, with its own singular history, is carefully incised. This, however, is a novel of a different, more expansive, and altogether more electrifying kind. Aja Gabel contains at least four complete human beings inside her, and I'm guessing countless others. She knows these people down to their cells, and she gives all of herself to them."&mdash;Kevin Brockmeier
