«Let the Great World Spin» is the novel by Colum McCann, published by Random House Trade Paperbacks in paperback (400 pages, in English).
August 1974: a tightrope walker walks and jumps between the Twin Towers while New York watches in silence. From that feat, McCann weaves together ordinary lives: an Irish monk among Bronx prostitutes, mothers mourning their sons fallen in Vietnam, and a young artist after a hit-and-run.
The novel, winner of the 2009 National Book Award and the 2011 Dublin Literary Award, is inspired by Philippe Petit's walk.
Suitable for book clubs and for those who enjoy literary fiction set in 1970s New York.
