Colum McCann consistently comes through with poetic narrative techniques, and unique plotlines. His characters develop quickly, without any sacrifices to their depth. These stories express great humility and empathy. Giving voices to those who are so often silenced: the beaten, the bereaved, the abused. check out: http://colummccann.com/extended-authors-note-and-victim-impact-statement/ for the Author's Victim Impact Statement, after he was sucker-punched and hospitalized. An event that impacted his life, his work, and brought the two together in a powerful way.
