«Et que le vaste monde poursuive sa course folle» is the novel by Colum McCann, published by 10/18 in paperback (475 pages, in French).
In the New York of 1974, a tightrope walker walks on a wire strung between the Twin Towers. That fleeting act frames a mosaic of lives: a priest in the Bronx, well-off mothers mourning their sons in Vietnam, and a prostitute protecting her family. Their voices portray a city in ferment and the human capacity to overcome.
The work was originally published as «Let the Great World Spin». The French translation is by Jean-Luc Piningre. The novel won the National Book Award in 2009.
A novel for literary fiction readers and book clubs seeking a choral story set in 1970s New York.
