Seduction of Silence, The, by Bem Le Hunte
摘要
The Seduction of Silence (2000) is Bem Le Hunte’s trans-continental, generational story that is rowdy, quirky, ethereal, and sexual. It is a stunning tale spanning several generations, written tenderly and movingly. The novel reads gently, like a leisurely river meandering past sharp stones that, in the end, do not affect how the water flows. It tackles various spiritual and cultural ideas with humor. The novel is about family, life, death, and loss, and how these things interact tragically, magically, and finally, in ways beyond comprehension.
