He builds a cabin, plants a garden. He befriends the few people he can reach within biking distance. He strikes up a relationship with a beautiful Huron-Wendat woman afflicted with wanderlust and who may be as damaged an individual as himself. In fits and starts, he begins to recount a story to his new friends, a tale of youthful passions, of idealism and rebellion, of love and of science. There is a reason for the man’s self-enforced exile, one that has implications far beyond the confines of the forest. As news reports trickle in of a brewing environmental catastrophe on a global scale, the unsettling nature of his confession becomes clear. And the world will never be the same again.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBold in themes, sensual in language, and astonishing in its implications, The Rest is Silence is a stunning achievement in literary fiction. Intimate in setting yet grand in scope, Scott Fotheringham has penned a frighteningly realistic portrait of the consequences we may all yet face for believing we had the right to crack open Pandora’s box.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goose Lane Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131818787056,"sku":"9780864927453","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780864927453_p0.jpg?v=1763824781","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780864927453","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
