Colum McCann is the author of five novels and numerous short stories.  He won the 2009 National Book Award and many other international honors for his novel Let the Great World Spin.  It tells the stories of several seemingly unconnected New Yorkers in 1974, against the backdrop of a tightrope walker who is suspended between the twin towers of the World Trade Center. 

Colum McCann will be in Columbia on Friday, March 1, as the guest speaker at the 35th annual Irish Night sponsored by the Howard County Poetry and Literature Society, known affectionately as HoCoPoLitSo.  He will read from his work at 7:30at the Smith Theater.  More details here.
