- Author: Colum McCann
- Amazon Link
I don't exactly recall how I selected this book; it was from Amazon and could very well have been a filler to make sure that my order was more than $25 and qualified for free shipping. While researching it, I noticed that the book has received a lot of critical acclaim and is likely to be very popular book club pick. It is also the National Book Award winner and that puts it right in my cross-hairs.
The author has an interesting syle where he presents short stories that seemingly have nothing to do with each other, until a connection emerges somewhere later and things start falling in place. Each story is not only different but is also told with a completely different style. I enjoyed the varaiations in the book and some of the profound observations especially from the prostitutes in New York. I don't want to write too much about the book as I will be giving away some of the storyline that is best left undiscovered until you read the book. I highly recommend this book.
