Colum McCann's National Book Award-winning novel "
Let the Great World Spin" looks to be coming to rest at Bad Robot.
"Spin," McCann's fifth novel, was published in June by Random House. Built around Philippe Petit's real-life "artistic crime of the century" -- when the Frenchman illegally walked a tightrope strung between the World Trade Center towers in August 1974 -- "Spin" follows an ensemble cast of characters struggling throughout New York.
