{"product_id":"silence-5","title":"Silence","description":"Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eObject Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.","brand":"bookshop.lol","offers":[{"title":"Thryft - Used (Like New)","offer_id":42534007111758,"sku":"9781628921427","price":11.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thryft - Used (Very Good)","offer_id":42534007144526,"sku":"9781628921427","price":10.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thryft - Used (Good)","offer_id":42534007177294,"sku":"9781628921427","price":9.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Thryft - Used (Well Read)","offer_id":42534007210062,"sku":"9781628921427","price":8.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/3857\/4926\/files\/23127665_5847890e-97d4-46e5-af7b-98058e7be2c0.jpg?v=1747393336","url":"https:\/\/bookshop.lol\/products\/silence-5","provider":"bookshop.lol","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
