But a crime of what order? Who exactly is the victim and who, if anyone, is the criminal? In Twenty Minutes of Silence, Hélène Bessette unleashes a polyphonic investigation, multiplying perspectives, contradictions, questions and doubts. Everything in this high-octane drama is subject to change, including the lighting and the basic facts of the case.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComposed in her signature poetic prose style, Bessette’s novella builds a world punctured by startling disruptions and unexpected shifts, and in doing so destroys and remakes the crime novel, creating a form wholly new. Devastating and exuberant, Twenty Minutes of Silence is a vital interrogation of the powerlessness of childhood, the compromises of adulthood, and the conventions of the novel itself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003ePublication: 18 Jun \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e2026, Fitzcarraldo Editions \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781804272152\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eExtent: 180 pages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57398414213502,"sku":null,"price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/0892\/5225\/files\/9781804272152.jpg?v=1778595100","url":"https:\/\/www.davids-bookshops.co.uk\/products\/twenty-minutes-of-silence-by-helene-bessette","provider":"David's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
