  McCann&rsquo\;s beloved novel inspired by Philippe Petit&rsquo\;s daring 
 high-wire stunt.</strong></p>\n<p><em>Let the Great World Spin</em>&nbsp\;
 is the critically acclaimed author&rsquo\;s most ambitious novel yet: a da
 zzlingly rich vision of the pain\, loveliness\, mystery\, and promise of N
 ew York City in the 1970s.</p>\n<p>Corrigan\, a radical young Irish monk\,
  struggles with his own demons as he lives among the prostitutes in the mi
 ddle of the burning Bronx. A group of mothers gather in a Park Avenue apar
 tment to mourn their sons who died in Vietnam\, only to discover just how 
 much divides them even in grief. A young artist finds herself at the scene
  of a hit-and-run that sends her own life careening sideways. Tillie\, a t
 hirty-eight-year-old grandmother\, turns tricks alongside her teenage daug
 hter\, determined not only to take care of her family but to prove her own
  worth. Elegantly weaving together these and other seemingly disparate liv
 es\, McCann&rsquo\;s powerful allegory comes alive in the unforgettable vo
 ices of the city&rsquo\;s people\, unexpectedly drawn together by hope\, b
 eauty\, and the &ldquo\;artistic crime of the century.&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>A s
 weeping and radical social novel\,&nbsp\;<em>Let the Great World Spin</em>
  captures the spirit of America in a time of transition\, extraordinary pr
 omise\, and\, in hindsight\, heartbreaking innocence. Hailed as a &ldquo\;
 fiercely original talent&rdquo\; (San Francisco Chronicle)\, award-winning
  novelist McCann has delivered a triumphantly American masterpiece that aw
 akens in us a sense of what the novel can achieve\, confront\, and even he
 al.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><strong>How it Works?</strong></p>\n<p>Literary Book C
