Book Review of Let the Great World Spin

Let the Great World Spin
reviewed on


A beautiful book through and through, Let the Great World Spin is filled with vivid and complex characters (one being the city of New York itself), visually evocative prose, and a gritty and crisp wit that only a true irishman can produce. The book is a stunner.
Its no surprise it won the National Book Award for 2009.
