One of my favorite authors is Colum McCann. I’ve read several of his books (and reviewed two of them here). The books often move in unexpected ways and the author has a gift for the memorable and thought-provoking phrase or sentence.
The illustration is a line from “Thirteen Ways of Looking” which is now in paperback. My other review is of “TransAtlantic”. “TransAtlantic” made such an impression I wrote about it twice.
If you think you might enjoy his work take a look at the Amazon page of Colum McCann or look at the books in your local library or bookstore.
