NEW IN PAPERBACK

Let the Great World Spin (Colum McCann, Random House $15)

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 Colum McCann’s stunningly intricate portrait of a city and its people. Winner of the 2009 National Book Award.
