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 torture—in short, as an object we both do and do not recognise. Concluding with 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eObject Lessons\u003c\/em\u003e is published in partnership with an essay series in \u003cem\u003eThe Atlantic\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47427831431404,"sku":"9781628921427","price":21.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781628921427.jpg?v=1774767288"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/john-biguenet.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
