The History of Sound is a collection of linked stories by author Ben Shattuck.

Set mainly in New England, the stories are linked perhaps by an artifact, or by a place, or by a theme.
The result is a stunning collection with rich detail and beautiful prose. And although it can be difficult to discuss a complete collection, that didn’t stop me from trying.
