In Sunday's New York Times "By the Book" feature, Colum McCann offered an eloquent description of the book-to-film adaptation process: "I'm currently adapting my novel Let the Great World Spin with J. J. Abrams. To adapt a book you have to be able to lift it in the air, let it fall, then reassemble the shattered pieces. J. J. knows how to get the mosaic right. I hope eventually it will be my favorite movie adaptation."
