{"product_id":"silence-object-lessons","title":"Silence - Object Lessons","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":"Thryft Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":50488655675673,"sku":"BJ1499.S5.B54 2015","price":11.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":50488655708441,"sku":"BJ1499.S5.B54 2015","price":10.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":50488655741209,"sku":"BJ1499.S5.B54 2015","price":9.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Well Read","offer_id":50488655773977,"sku":"BJ1499.S5.B54 2015","price":8.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/0598\/4849\/files\/23127665.jpg?v=1741096407","url":"https:\/\/thryft.sbs\/products\/silence-object-lessons","provider":"Thryft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
