Twist – Colum McCann and a story of escalation on the high seas
Colum McCann is a remarkable storyteller who has won numerous awards for his books (“Let the Great World Spin”, “Apeirogon”). With his latest novel, Twist, the Irish author is in top form: He masterfully weaves various stories into a great narrative. It centers on a journalist named Fennell, who is assigned to cover a story aboard a ship that repairs the deep-sea cables that enable global communication and what happens when they break. Conway, the vessel’s chief of mission, is not happy about the guest, who seems to be interested in everything – perhaps even in Conway’s partner Zanele? The situation intensifies when a major underwater break occurs, leading to an enormous blackout: While chaos erupts on land, the conflict between Fennell and Conway escalates on the repair ship… An impressive novel about what makes us human: the connection to others.
