Literary Geographies

"Examines key elements of Colum McCann's 2009 novel, Let the Great World Spin. Looking at the novel as socio-spatial and intertextual interactions involving author, editor, publisher, and reader, the book offers a new way to look at narrative settings, literary space, and the geographies of creation, production, and reception."—Provided by publisher
