The author of the "dazzling epic" (Lev Grossman, Time) Brilliant delivers an indelible view of the ways silence affects those who seek it and those who have it imposed upon them. Through her original, intertwined histories of the penitentiary and the monastery, Jane Brox illuminates the many ways silence is far more complex than any absolute; how it has influenced ideas of the self, soul, and society.

Subtitle is misleading. It’s actually a selective telling of one prisoner’s time at Eastern State in the 19th century, and some generalities about monastic life.
If you’re looking for a culture-spanning discussion of silence with many examples and perhaps some research into its long term effects on humans, this isn’t it.
