Twist

Twist by Colum McCann

Twist is a gripping novel that explores repair and human connection in the digital age, set against the backdrop of the hidden world beneath the ocean. From the bestselling author of *Let the Great World Spin*, this story begins with Anthony Fennell, an Irish journalist who embarks on a journey to West Africa after an undersea cable rupture disrupts global internet transmission. As Fennell dives deeper into the world of underwater cables, he meets John A. Conway, the troubled chief of a repair mission. Conway’s unraveling life and his desperate attempt to fix the cables lead him to an act of defiance that shocks the world. But as Fennell’s own life spirals, both men are forced to confront profound questions of love, identity, and belonging. With echoes of *Heart of Darkness* and *The Great Gatsby*, *Twist* offers a poignant, timely reflection on the fragility of our world.
