{"product_id":"biguenet-john-silence-9781628921427","title":"Silence","description":"Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. 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 torture-in short, as an object we both do and do not recognize. 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. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53580019138902,"sku":"9781628921427-V","price":7.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781628921427_1.jpg?v=1778448389","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/biguenet-john-silence-9781628921427","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
