The Shape of Silence

Bol

The Shape of Silence is a diptych of novellas that explores the fervent bearing of silence, by reimagining the sacred origin stories of Christianity and Islam through the haunting lens of modern atrocity. It explores silence as a physical presence that moves from external societal trauma to an internal moral burden. The Knowing and The Saying Two traditions. Two stories. One silence. The collection serves as an invitation to embrace the quiet and to recognize that carrying unbearable truths is, perhaps, the most profound act of bearing witness.Praise for The Shape of Silence: - "A work of profound theological imagination and unflinching moral seriousness... The prose is assured, the structure intentional, the emotional impact lasting."- "The silence you have shaped holds."- "Daring, surreal, and essential. A reimagining of our oldest stories through our newest wounds."- "A masterclass in melancholic whimsy and thematic weight."
