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 bestselling novelist Colum McCann’s stunningly intricate portrait of a city and its people.
Let the Great World Spin is the critically acclaimed author’s most ambitious novel yet: a dazzlingly rich vision of the pain, loveliness, mystery, and promise of New York City in the 1970s.
Corrigan, a radical young Irish monk, struggles with his own demons as he lives among the prostitutes in the middle of the burning Bronx. A group of mothers gather in a Park Avenue apartment 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 thirty-eight-year-old grandmother, turns tricks alongside her teenage daughter, determined not only to take care of her family but to prove her own worth.
Elegantly weaving together these and other seemingly disparate lives, McCann’s powerful allegory comes alive in the unforgettable voices of the city’s people, unexpectedly drawn together by hope, beauty, and the “artistic crime of the century.” A sweeping and radical social novel, Let the Great World Spin captures the spirit of America in a time of transition, extraordinary promise, and, in hindsight, heartbreaking innocence. Hailed as a “fiercely original talent” (San Francisco Chronicle), award-winning novelist McCann has delivered a triumphantly American masterpiece that awakens in us a sense of what the novel can achieve, confront, and even heal.
会看这本书完全是因为当时看到封面上贴了一个National Book Award的金闪闪的贴纸;虽然事实上我不怎么关注这个奖项,但人有的时候就是这样贱。 这本书读了一半,然后实在是读不下去了。 不是说这本书写的不好。从技术上讲,总要好过那些青春文学,或者畅销惊悚读物之类的快...
評分在上海图书馆寻书时发现了这本,其实是被标签吸引“21世纪年度最佳外国小说”,个人也对纽约故事比较感兴趣。 说实话,和大多数人一样,看到前几篇的时候昏昏欲睡,读书又总是在睡前。但一旦开始读,就想坚持看完。 意识到惊喜的时候是在第二卷的《这个家是海马造》,突然发...
