An astonishing balancing act by a great writer prepared to take risks. A book to treasure * Daily Mail * A blockbuster, groundbreaking, heartbreaking, symphony of a novel ... No novelist writing of New York has climbed higher, dived deeper -- Frank McCourt McCann has reinvented the city of New York in all its breathing, fighting, whining, joyous clamour -- Peter Carey * Observer Books of the Year * A wow of a novel - rich, humane, brilliantly written and as deep as it is wide * The Times * This is a gorgeous book, multilayered and deeply felt, and its a damned lot of fun to read, too. Leave it to an Irishman to write one of the greatest-ever novels about New York. Theres so much passion and humor and pure lifeforce on every page of Let the Great World Spin that youll find yourself giddy, dizzy, overwhelmed -- Dave Eggers One of the most electric, profound novelsin years. Let the Great World Spin is an emotional tour de force * New York Times Book Review * McCann makes his prose dance across the surface of this ingeniously constructed novel. He is a fearless writer, experimenting with narrative styles, leaping from one story to the next * Telegraph * More tellingly McCann is that rare species in contemporary fiction: a literary writer who is an exceptional storyteller. This novel never trumpets itself as a metropolitan kaleidoscope, but prefers the quiet intimacy of personal suffering ... Put baldly: this is an exceptional performance by a writer whose originality and profound humanity is evident throughout this highly original and wondrous novel * Independent * McCann performs exquisite acts of ventriloquism * Financial Times * What a book! Complex and captivating a very sensual novel -- John Boyne Every character grabs you by the throat and makes you care. McCanns dazzling polyphony walks the high wire and succeeds triumphantly -- Emma Donoghue
