Based loosely upon the life of Papusza, a Gypsy poet from the 1930s, Colum McCann takes us through time and across Europe, charting the romantic, familial, and political history of a captivating, determined woman in his moving novel Zoli.
Though he grew up in Ireland, McCann somehow pulls off an authentic native's story of New York City in 1974, when hookers and heroin and breakdancers and arson defined the Bronx, and the Vietnam War and disillusionment hung like a cloud over everything.
