CUNY MFA Pride: our faculty and students congratulate Colum McCann who won the National Book Award for fiction last week. Motoko Rich describes the novel in her NYT article, "Significant (Little) Moments Pulled From Obscurity": "All sorts of tiny and extraordinary moments make up 'Let the Great World Spin,' a polyphonic novel set in 1970s New York that also works as an allegory about resilience and recovery after Sept. 11, 2001." For the whole article:
