![]() ![]() The short stories focus on one day in the lives of very disparate characters. Although this National Book Award winner by Colum McCann is well written, this collection of inter-related stories tenuously connected by the spectacular 1974 Philippe Petit tightrope walk between the twin towers of the World Trade Center left me unsatisfied. Suffice it to say it's never a good sign when books take up extended residence on my bedside table. And I'm going to have to start skipping book club when they choose to read an award winner although in all fairness, this particular book was chosen long ago and I could never find the impetus to finish it until recently. I should probably swear off of award winning books, at least lately. ![]()
