'Silence' by Rodney Hall
Couldn't load pickup availability
A man prepares to be buried alive in order to encounter God.
A Korean woman methodically cleans her employer’s house, turning domestic order into a mute act of resistance against a Japanese occupier. Choirboys wait in enforced stillness, sealed high inside the dome of Florence Cathedral, suspended between breath and sound. Each story inhabits a different historical or symbolic register, yet all are bound by reverberation rather than plot.
Hall moves easily between the sacred and the political, the intimate and the ceremonial, using historical figures and otherworldly imagery to explore how silence can wound, protect, accuse, or endure.
