Has the ultra-connected nature of modern life left humanity more lonely? Are some connections better severed? In Colum McCann's Twist, a journalist is sent to report on the repair of the undersea cables that make modern communication possible when the vessel's captain vanishes. Today, the National Book Award-winning author of Let the Great World Spin talks with Festival director Jenny Niven about his dark new Conrad-esque novel and the power of stories to repair a broken world.
