Overview

This event is nearly sold out, but you can sign up to be notified if tickets are released.

Irish Arts Center hosts the launch of New York Times bestselling author Colum McCann’s latest novel, a tale of rupture and repair in the digital age. Two Irishmen have journeyed into a hidden world deep in the ocean and are forced to confront the most elemental questions of life, love, belonging, and the perils of our severed connections. Special guest Dan Barry (New York Times) will moderate the conversation.

Please note: Most ticket purchases include a copy of Twist.
