Colum McCann’s newest, Twist, explores how the world of underwater fiber cables has vital physical and metaphoric meaning in our day to day lives.  Sound dull?  We promise you, it’s a literary marvel and a page turner to boot.  The men and women who live to make, repair and find these cables are fascinating characters.  And Twist is a beautiful novel all about how we can tear ourselves apart as we obsess about reparation and healing.  Is instant communication making us one community or ruining our sense of belonging?  Are we making the earth better or burning it slowly to the ground?  Tune in this week to find out.
