Come arrivare

In May we're going to discuss Twist by Colum McCann. It's a modern story which feels like an old one. A contemporary tale of the sea and the people who work on it, inspired by Conrad's Heart of Darkness and maybe also by Melville's Moby Dick.

Here is some homework to teach you about the historical and technological background to the book. Enjoy!

Colum McCann’s seven novels and three collections of short stories have been published in over forty languages and received some of the world’s most prestigious literary awards and honours, including the National Book Award for his novel Let the Great World Spin in 2009. His novel TransAtlantic was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2013, and his most recent novel, Apeirogon, also longlisted for the Man Booker Prize, is an international bestseller on four continents.
