Keeping Quiet is a combination of the anthropologist's keen eye and the language of a storyteller. In Keeping Quiet, P�ramo has collected essays addressing what it is like to live in a world of silence or the absence thereof. This collection covers a wide range of angles and experiences, from an exploration of IBM's anechoic chamber-the world's quietest place- to stories of incest, marriage, sexual harassment, social justice, and first-person accounts of life in the emirate of Qatar. P�ramo crosses the borders between art (Mozart, Monet, Beethoven, Sheila Chandra, Neruda) and yoga, between research and drunkenness, between despair and triumph, weaving the intimate and personal with what is upsetting in women's health industry. In "Belated Comebacks," P�ramo is full of righteous anger; in "Teaching Mom Long Division," she explores the oceanic depths of longing; in "Writers of Color," she examines the complexities of being brown and speaking accented English; in "Three Women," she exposes the social underbelly of Qatar during the pandemic, then mixes it all with personal reckonings.
