«Let the Great World Spin» is the novel by Colum McCann, published by Bloomsbury Publishing PLC in paperback (368 pages, in English).
New York, August 1974: a tightrope walker walks between the Twin Towers and, below, the lives of several strangers —an Irish monk, Bronx prostitutes, a housewife, a judge— intersect. McCann weaves this feat with the pain of the Vietnam War and urban marginality to speak of human fragility and connection.
Winner of the National Book Award for Fiction in 2009, it was also recognised with the Dublin Literary Award in 2011.
For readers of literary fiction and book clubs seeking a multi-voice novel set in 1970s New York.
