I should've done this before but here it is. Let The Great World Spin has a short prologue that focuses on a man who is on a tightrope that is tied between the twin towers of the World Trade Center (Remember that the novel takes place in the 70s, so the towers were obviously still there).
The prologue starts with people in NYC looking up and wondering who's up there and whether he will fall.
The importance of the tightrope man is that he connects the short stories in the novel. Yes, the prologue is written beautifully, but right now I don't feel like saying more. It's just a pretty prologue, so yeah.
