It is remarkable the web Katie Kitamura can spin around a scene as simple as a woman joining a man for lunch. His name is Xavier. We don’t know her name, but we do know she’s a successful actress.

If the opportunity should arise, would he ever be interested in taking a tour himself?

My family were very confused about my sudden interest in the fibre-optic cables that carry information around the world on the ocean floor – until I told them about TWIST, Colum McCann’s latest, out now from @BloomsburyBooks. My review for @spectator https://t.co/j72knidVzh
