Colum McCann
July 2, BookCourt, 163 Court St. (betw. Pacific & Dean Sts.), Brooklyn; 7, FREEI’m not sure if sweat or sand will ruin a Kindle, but it seems the book we’ll all be toting to the beach or trying to read on the subway this summer is native Dubliner Colum McCann’s Let The Great World Spin, which uses Philippe Petit’s famous tightrope walk as a starting point. Tonight, he brings his book and his scruffy little writer punim to BookCourt.
Bottom Line: Somewhere Joseph O’Neill is plotting his return-to-summer-writer heartthrob status but probably not at BookCourt, so go ahead and flirt with the Irishman.
