Known as \"the Narito Disappearances,\" the crime has authorities baffled--until a confession appears on the police's doorstep, signed by one Oda Sotatsu, a thread salesman. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSotatsu is arrested, jailed, and interrogated, but he refuses to speak. Even as his family comes to visit, even as his execution looms, and even as a young woman named Jito Joo enters his cell, he maintains his vow of silence. And as a journalist's obsession uncovers more to the story, Jesse Ball spins a wildly inventive and emotionally powerful take of unjust conviction and lost love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780345805522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 6.05w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/14\/2014 pg. 44\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jesse Ball","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42924844908725,"sku":"9780345805522","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_da25aa09-4df1-4008-9f00-af01a8d911bc.jpg?v=1687839611","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/silence-once-begun-9780345805522","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
