Colum McCann with Shane O'Reilly - Twist
Fri, Nov 7 at 1pm
The New York Times-bestselling, National Book Award-winning, Booker Prize-longlisted author of Let the Great World Spin, Colum McCann discusses his darkly eerie novel about connection, disconnection and destruction, Twist.
A writer travels to Cape Town to embark on a sea voyage to repair a broken internet cable at the bottom of the ocean when the ship's mysterious captain disappears. As the mission falters, it becomes clear that things are not as they first seemed.
Colum McCann will be in conversation with Irish actor and playwright, Shane O’Reilly, whose play Her Father’s Voice is forthcoming with Bloomsbury / Methuen Drama.
