The last book of Colum McCann, Let the great world spin, published in 2009, is an outstanding book. One should not read the back cover and one must accept to be immersed in the New York of the 70s without understanding, at first, the aim of the author. The beginning (the 3 first pages) is great but, indeed, the reading of the 100 following pages make us wonder if we shall cling on. Then, everything falls into place and one understands little by little what are the chess pieces. From this point, one just enjoys a very good book. Colum McCann has already published several novels. He is an Irishman born in 1965.
