Colum McCann's novel explores isolation in the internet age

Season 2025 Episode 167 | 7m 35s

His new novel "Twist" asks big questions through a story of characters literally at sea. Senior arts correspondent Jeffrey Brown has this profile of the book and its writer for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
