In the dawning light of a late-summer morning, the people of lower Manhattan stand hushed, staring up in disbelief at the Twin Towers. It is August 1974, and a mysterious tightrope walker is running, dancing, leaping between the towers, suspended a quarter mile above the ground. In the streets below, a slew of ordinary lives become extraordinary in Colum McCann's stunningly intricate portrait of a city and its people. Winner of the National Book Award 2009 in the United States, Let the Great World Spin has been described by McCann as an allegory of 9/11. The Irish Times praised it as not only a showcase of the author's finest writing to date, but also a remarkable triumph of storytelling and insight into the human spirit.
