The Book of Form and Emptiness
by Ruth Ozeki Author
Thirteen-year-old Benny Oh begins hearing voices from objects in his house after his father’s death. The voices convey emotions, some pleasant, others snide and angry. When his mother hoards, the voices grow louder. Ignoring them initially, Benny seeks refuge in a public library where objects behave well and speak in whispers. There, he discovers a new world, falls in love with a street artist, meets a philosopher-poet, and finds his own voice. A talking book narrates his life and teaches him to listen to what truly matters.
