This paper examines the narrative structure of Colum McCann’s Apeirogon (2020) through Fredric Jameson’s concept of the historical horizon and Robert B. Kaplan’s models of culturally specific rhetorical patterns. The analysis focuses on how parallelism and circularity function both as structural principles and as ethical statements. Ultimately, Apeirogon uses its hybrid, spiral form not only to represent trauma, but also to construct a discursive site where enemies are reimagined as mirrored participants in the same historical and emotional “circle.”
