Award-winning Irish writer Colum McCann delves into the murky world of undersea communications cables for his upcoming book, Twist. Billed as a story about connection, disconnection and destruction, the story follows journalist Anthony Fennell who goes on assignment to find out what happens when these cables break.
McCann is the author of seven novels and the recipient of many international honors. His previous books include Let the Great World Spin, and his first major non-fiction book American Mother was published last year to wide acclaim.
