In August 2009, Colum McCann released "Let the Great World Spin," an "emotional tour de force" (The New York Times) that became, instantly, one of the most talked about books of the decade. By the end of the year, it had entered the pantheon of Great American Novels. A polyphonic work set in the New York of the 1970's, but serving as an allegory of the city's resilient post-9/11 self, "Spin" was Chose as Amazon's #1 Book of the Year and won the National Book Award. It placed McCann - whose remarkable previous books include "Zoli" and "Dancer" - at the very top rank of contemporary novelists.
Born in Dublin in 1965, McCann currently teaches at Hunter College in New York. |
