review 1: An interesting short fictional book examining the meaning and possibilities of roar (e.g., sound, propaganda, forced civilian marches) and silence (e.g., repression, stillness, absence, death). Set in Syria, the book unfolds with life under a dictatorship and the web of lies and propaganda (i.e., the roar) spun and woven to elevate the status and position of the leader at the detriment of the people. The protagonist is an author who has been banned from publishing his works and is hence forced into "silence" through manipulation in various ways. I thought if this as a Syrian 1984. Thought provoking book.
review 2: An interesting book on the power of dictatorship and the manipulation these people have over the populous. The ideology of the book is good the writi... moreng is a little simplistic and I think badly translated at times . The subject matter is explored in much more depth in the orphan masters son but having said that sometimes less is more and I won't look at these marches in dictatorships expressing love of the leader in the same light again. less
