Let The Great World Spin by Colum McCann

Last summer, I spent a week in Provincetown, Massachusetts. One night, having dinner by myself in a fantastic restaurant, my neighbor to my left and I got into a conversation on literature and he made me write down the name of this novel. He said he'd just finished reading it, and it blew him away. So, finally, I got around to getting it. So far, I'm really enjoying it. Very well written.
