the project
dualsilence is a bilingual literary and philosophical project founded by Keera and Max. One story, two languages, two titles: เมื่อฉันฟังแต่ตัวเอง, written by Keera, and What The Silence Kept, the English version Max created. Each edition tells the story the way only its language can.
The first book is the diary of Pian, a girl named Perseverance, who left the fields for Bangkok at fourteen and spent the next twenty years learning which silences held her and which ones spent her.
- a boy who walks one step behind, never ahead, never level
- meals cooked with love, gone cold untouched
- a telephone line that stays silent on the worst day
- the sentence that ended every fight
- a candle kept burning on the quietest nights
