Explanation During Books Silence Once Begun

From the celebrated author of The Curfew, Jesse Ball’s Silence Once Begun is an astonishing novel of unjust conviction, lost love, and a journalist’s obsession.
 
Over the course of several months, eight people vanish from their homes in the same Japanese town, a single playing card found on each door. Known as the “Narito Disappearances,” the crime has authorities baffled—until a confession appears on the police’s doorstep, signed by Oda Sotatsu, a thread salesman. Sotatsu is arrested, jailed, and interrogated—but he refuses to speak. Even as his parents, brother, and sister come to visit him, even as his execution looms, and even as a young woman named Jito Joo enters his cell, he maintains his vow of silence. Our narrator, a journalist named Jesse Ball, is grappling with mysteries of his own when he becomes fascinated by the case. Why did Sotatsu confess? Why won’t he speak? Who is Jito Joo? As Ball interviews Sotatsu’s family, friends, and jailers, he uncovers a complex story of heartbreak, deceit, honor, and chance.
 
Wildly inventive and emotionally powerful, Silence Once Begun is a devastating portrayal of a justice system compromised, and evidence that Jesse Ball is a voraciously gifted novelist working at the height of his powers.

Column Of Books Silence Once Begun

I was moved by this writing. Each character has the chance to shape their narrative of the past in a way that is both meaningful and beautiful. The subject of this story isn't really the primary mystery of Sotatsu's silence, and it's not the Narito Disappearances, either; instead, this novel makes use of a framework of investigative journalism/police procedural as a way to explore what makes for a meaningful life. As each character is given the opportunity to share his or her view of reality,

4,5 Stars. This is a totally unique way of literature being a brutal force, leaving you breathless, yet satisfied. This was so compelling! The mystery which sunk in slowly, reminded me of Mr Peanut, New york trilogy and the movie Old Boy. The form (meta + uberreal) reminded me of House of leaves and Nightfilm- although it's hard to really compare it with anything. It stands alone. Oh, I was so intrigued! And the plot didn't disappoint. The language ranged between the dry, official tone of an

Jewel of a book

Again, I seem to be at odds with many readers on this site, finding a popular book to be unpopular with me. It didn't start out this way. I found the summary of this book interesting, with it promising me a story filled with mystery and intrigue. But what this book delivered was a concept story gliding over the surface of something important, offering the reader a book with little depth, and with no heart or soul. In other words, this was an intellectual exercise in writing which left me cold.

A 4.5. The lengths we go to prove ourselves reasonable, at least in modern times. That is the theme of this novel, a collage of interviews, documents, testimony, transcripts, trial coverage, photographs, and the editors notes. Theres something hypnotic about Balls flat prose and the way he lays out the pieces that make up the story. It is in some ways a Stranger for today, and superior, I think, to the original (which I just read). The only thing a bit pat about the novel is its Rashomon aspect,

There is no denying that Jesse Ball can turn a beautiful phrase, but his layers of metafictional gamesmanship got on my nerves fairly quickly. I felt that I was supposed to feel dazzled, mind blown, like some bong-fueled undergrad discovering Borges or Gass. Silence Once Begun is a smart book, but it would have been better if it didn't seem to try so hard. I took a long break from it because I noticed that I had started to dread picking it up again. I will be the first to admit that I may not

Part Rashomon, part The Stranger, part Brief Interviews with Hideous Men - Jesse Ball takes on the provocative nature of silence in this fascinating and deceptively straightforward novel.Seeking some form of explanation for the sudden disconnection from the woman he loves, our narrator travels to Japan to investigate the similar lapse into silence of a man arrested for a crime he confessed to but did not commit. Interviews commence in which the journalistic styling combines with the Japanese
