I am in awe of the unbelievable emotional power of this post-911 tragedy. The story of a day when a lone tightrope walker walked between the two towers of the World Trade Center in 1974. Seeing the documentary Man on a Wire really gave a feel for the event. This multi-perspective modern novel takes a single day in 1974 and looks at how the lives of the people of NY are touched: hookers and heros, mothers their sons who died in Vietnam, judges and junkies, priests and painters. We do not know the small ways that our lives are woven together.
