Rami had briefly served in the army before pursuing a successful career in graphic design, he got married, had children and lead a quite ordinary bourgeoisie life. Before meeting, they had two totally different lives, with little to nothing in common.
Bassam is Palestinian, Rami is Israeli and, apparently, they’re two incomparable persons. Geographically, they live on land that has seen no rest for decades politically, they’re supposed to hate each other.
Bassam Aramin and Rami Elhanan, the main characters in Colum McCann’s Apeirogon, are atypical friends.
