Specifikacia Dumb House


Dumb House

In Persian myth, it is said that Akbar the Great once built a palace which he filled with newborn children, attended only by mutes, in order to learn whether language is innate or aquired. In his first novel, John Burnside explores the possibilites inherent in a modern-day repetition of Akbar's investigations. As the year passed and the chidren grew into their silent and difficult world, this palace became known as the Gang Mahal, or Dumb House.

When the children develop a musical language of their own, however, their gaoler is the one who is excluded, and he extracts an appalling revenge. Following the death of his mother, the unnamed narrator creates a twisted varient of the Dumb House, finally using his own chidren as subjects in a bizarre experiment.
