Based upon the book, Colum wrote the lyrics for Clannad's song "TransAtlantic", released with the album Nádúr in September 2013. He also wrote the liner notes for the album. PlotIt tells the intertwined stories of Alcock and Brown (the first non-stop transatlantic fliers in 1919), the visit of Frederick Douglass to Ireland in 1845/46, and the story of the Irish peace process as negotiated by Senator George Mitchell in 1998. The book fuses these stories with fictional narratives of women spanning the course of two centuries. ReviewsReviews for the book have been generally positive. Theo Talt in The Guardian commended McCann's skill as a writer though expressed concern at the plot becoming unwieldy in light of the many themes and story strands present in the novel.[1] The Daily Express also commented favourably on the novel, in particular the novel's "lyrical and emotional power".[2] It was included on the longlist for the 2013 Man Booker Prize.[3][4] McCann discussed the novel on the BBC Radio 4 programme Bookclub in December 2015.[5] References1. ^{{cite news|first=Theo|last=Thalt|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/jun/01/transatlantic-colum-mccann-review|title=TransAtlantic by Colum McCann – review|date=1 June 2013|accessdate=3 June 2013}} 2. ^{{cite news|first=Charlotte|last=Heathcote|url=http://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/books/404428/Book-Review-TransAtlantic|title=Book Review: TransAtlantic|date=2 June 2013|accessdate=3 June 2013}} 3. ^Joshua Farrington, "'Contemporary' longlist for 2013 Man Booker", [The Bookseller], 23 July 2013. 4. ^"TransAtlantic" at The Man Booker Prize website. 5. ^"Colum McCann - TransAtlantic", Bookclub, BBC, 6 December 2015.
