Description
"What is silence? In a series of short meditations, novelist and playwright John Biguenet considers silence as a servant of power, as a lie, as a punishment, as the voice of God, as a terrorist's final weapon, as a luxury good, as the reason for the torture - in short, as an object of we both do and do not recognize. Exploring the prospects for its future in a world burgeoning with noise, Biguenet asks whether we should desire or fear silence - or if it is even ours to choose"--Jacket.
