The Boy Who Made Silence Description:
SUMMARY: When twelve-year-old Esmé saves small-town deaf boy Nestor Gudfred from drowning, he is inexplicably able to cast the townspeople into each others’ pasts and dreams. Nestor begins to receive visitations from Peter’n’Charlie, a strange cat-headed rhetorician and Pastor Buddy, a minister in search of a prophet. While the town seems to regard Nestor as a prophet, he begins a search for his long-lost father in this surrealist meditation on the nature of religious belief.
