[355]-375. 520 $a A rich vision of the pain, loveliness, mystery, and promise of New York City in the 1970s. A radical young Irish monk struggles with his own demons as he lives among the prostitutes in the middle of the burning Bronx. A group of mothers gathers in a Park Avenue apartment to mourn their sons who died in Vietnam, only to discover just how much divides them even in grief. A young artist finds herself at the scene of a hit-and-run that sends her own life careening sideways. A 38-year-old grandmother turns tricks alongside her teenage daughter, determined not only to take care of her family but to prove her own worth. Weaving together these and other seemingly disparate lives, McCann's allegory comes alive in the voices of the city's people, unexpectedly drawn together by hope, beauty, and the "artistic crime of the century"--a mysterious tightrope walker dancing between the Twin Towers.--From publisher's description. 586 $a National Book Award, 2009. 650 0 $a Immigrants $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Irish $z New York $z New York $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Judges' spouses $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Grief $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Teenage mothers $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Petit, Philippe, $d 1949- $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Tightrope walking $v Fiction. 651 0 $a New York (N.Y.) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nineteen seventies $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Psychological fiction. 941 $a 18 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525040445.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305030007.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210011902.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201014208.0 952 $l ESPD725 $d 20220411150850.0 952 $l BWPD851 $d 20210714014007.0 952 $l XGPC697 $d 20210622010733.0 952 $l IBAX173 $d 20180307025331.0 952 $l RSSX851 $d 20180106073758.0 952 $l URAX314 $d 20170609040307.0 952 $l VMPC334 $d 20170118033021.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20160407022235.0 952 $l GPPC641 $d 20150916042118.0 952 $l OGPC877 $d 20150702020855.0 952 $l OMAX631 $d 20100405114953.0 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20100301073843.0 952 $l OUAX845 $d 20100201083435.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20100503144249.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7EF3589C0F3F11DF93771FC5C41A358D 994 $a 02 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
