<dc:description>This article argues that Colum McCann’s novel Let the Great World Spin (2009) epitomizes the Irish transcultural novel. It portrays transculturality through a considerable diversity of damaged characters who bond to overcome a common trauma. By engaging with transcultural, transnational, and postmulticultural theories, this article analyses some of the literary features of McCann’s formal experimentation that eventually alleviate pain and foster tolerance and empathy among people with different backgrounds. Then, it explores the universalisation of trauma, where the local is made global and the characters deploy similar responses when exposed to traumatic situations. The novel, an attempt to find grace after the trauma of 9/11, presents many characters who advocate for plural perspectives and, as a kaleidoscope, it brings to the centre of the narrative the differences among people and opens possibilities for beautiful and new configurations.</dc:description>
<dc:description>Este artigo explica por que o romance Let the Great World Spin (2009) de Colum McCann exemplifica de maneira inequívoca o romance transcultural irlandês. A transculturalidade é mostrada no romance por meio de personagens muito  diversos  que  se  unem  para  superar  um  trauma.  Fazendo  uma  conexão entre  as  teorias  transcultural,  transnational  e  pós-multicultural,  este  artigo analisa  algumas  das  características  literárias  da  experimentação  formal  de McCann que objetiva aliviar a dor e promover a tolerância e a empatia entre pessoas diferentes. O romance explora a universalização do trauma, onde o local é transformado em global e os personagens apresentam reações semelhantes quando expostos a situações traumáticas. Como uma tentativa de McCann de encontrar beleza após o trauma dos ataques de 11 de setembro, o romance apresenta vários personagens  que  advogam  em  prol de perspectivas plurais e, como um caleidoscópio, traz para o centro da narrativa as diferenças entre pessoas e abrepossibilidades para novas e belas configurações</dc:description>
