This is a great example of an engaging story beautifully told by a writer with a limitless curiosity for unusual subjects. In other words, a masterwork. Colum McCann is one of those writers whose work I'll choose no matter what the subject since his poetic style is inimitable and his choice of material always interesting and informative. Here we have a down on his luck freelance writer from Dublin given the assignment of doing a piece on a ship tasked with reparation of the fiber optic tubes that carry the world's information on the ocean floor. Our narrator finds himself intrigued by the master of the crew, a diving expert with a story of his own. An encounter that changes the narrator's life. In other words, this is one of those books that makes me glad I love to read.
