Über diesen Titel

Bloomsbury presents Twist, written and read by Colum McCann

A darkly epic novel about connection, disconnection and destruction – from the New York Times-bestselling, National Book Award-winning, Booker Prize-longlisted author of Let the Great World Spin

**Named a 2025 book to look out for by the Observer, Financial Times, Irish Times and New European**

‘Urgent and utterly compelling’ KEVIN BARRY

‘One of our greatest storytellers’ ELIF SHAFAK

‘A powerfully realist novel of men at sea … It speaks of the brokenness of our time, the successful and unsuccessful attempts at repairs, and the vulnerability of our world’ SALMAN RUSHDIE

____________________________________________________

Anthony Fennell, a journalist, is in pursuit of a story buried at the bottom of the sea: the network of tiny fibre-optic tubes that carry the world’s information across the ocean floor - and what happens when they break.

So he has travelled to Cape Town to board the George Lecointe, a cable repair vessel captained by Chief of Mission John Conway. Conway is a talented engineer and fearless freediver - and Fennell is quickly captivated by this mysterious, unnerving man and his beautiful partner, Zanele.

As the boat embarks along the west coast of Africa, Fennell learns the rhythms of life at sea, and finds his place among the band of drifters who make up the crew. But as the mission falters, tensions simmer - and Conway is thrown into crisis. A terrible, violent tragedy is unfolding in the life he has left behind on land; and, trapped out at sea, it seems as if the vast expanse of the ocean is closing in.

Then Conway disappears; and Fennell must set out to find him.

As taut and propulsive as a thriller, and a timeless exploration of narrative and truth, Twist is the work of a master storyteller at the height of his powers.

'Electrifying, propulsive ... A masterful exploration of the elemental forces at work just below the surface of all our lives' COLIN WALSH, author of Kala

A Graham Greene-ish thriller … Dark, moving and very entertaining (Alex Preston)
Electrifying, propulsive ... a masterful exploration of the elemental forces at work just below the surface of all our lives (COLIN WALSH)

For me, this highly recommended book was one of two contrasting halves.
It started off so well - Anthony Fennell, a jaded Irish journalist, joins a vessel in Cape Town which fixes broken undersea cables to write about this. It was fascinating and different and made one really think about these fragile glass fibre cables deep under the oceans that connect us and our telecommunications. There was beautiful writing about the nature of connectedness, about the wild seas, the fascination of freediving, and most of all about the intriguing captain of mission, John Conway.
In the second half however, this turned into an obsession and for me at least it felt more of a chore to connect with the narrator’s fixation on the missing Mr Conway and his past. I didn’t feel satisfied with the resolution of the mystery of his disappearance and the motivation behind it, but this could have been the central message - life is messy, incomplete and doesn’t always make sense.

Great topic but unsatisfactory resolution
