A brief history of my silence

In a eloquent narrative framework, the author recounts the early years of his life since he was a four-year-old child, when he lost the ability to speak, and lived in a state of silence through which he wove a world of his own based on reading and writing. This was helped by the general atmosphere at home; his father was involved in cultural life, hosting writers, novelists, and poets, overseeing cultural events, and owning many books. The author also narrates how he was able to emerge from the state of silence thanks to his mother’s persistent efforts, how he developed a different relationship with words, how he took his first steps into the world of writing and publishing, and how he managed to write his first novel in which he tells his personal experience that he included in this book.
