There are 5-star books and then there are astonishing books that contain all the stars in the sky. Galactic. I cannot write this review sans hyperbole. Why? Because the meaning(s) of this novel expands: the more you meditate on it, the more boundless in its connections and scope. However, the fundamental theme is illuminated by the author through the character of Gloria on pp 306 of the ARC: "...everything in New York is built upon another thing, nothing is entirely by itself, each thing as strange as the last, and connected." Although New York City 1974 is McCann's vital, breathing subject, you can love this story without ever having visited the city. You have surely lodged with the savage nobility of the human spirit--the exquisite pain and extraordinary beauty of the soul; degenerate misery; wild exultation; unutterable grief; merciful exaltation; boneless survival. All this manifests and more as a crescendo of disparate voices intersect, climb and caterwaul to a swirling catharsis. Above, at 110 stories, in artful equipoise, funambulist Philippe Petit performs on a high wire between the North and South Twin Towers, captivating a swell of onlookers on the ground below. With his ballet shoes and 55-lb. balancing pole, he leaps, dances, lays down, salutes, converses with a circling gull, and makes eight crossings between the two towers. Strange, dangerous, impossible, realized. The book favors theme and character development over plot, and yet the pages turn with as much tension as a gripping thriller. It is a high-wire act both literally and metaphorically. McCann's mega-watt prose is ripe with paradox and parabola, like this story. The highborn; hopeless; corrupt; wretched; and the darlings intersect and reveal a common core. There is momentum, then a staggering halt--and, in the end, the great world spins. A+
