Silence by Shūsaku Endō

5.0

I don't want this to sound like a hyperbole, but Silence may be one of the best books on faith — and the hubris of imperialism — that I have ever read in my life. Reading it in Kyushu, Japan, where the book is set, may have helped, but it stands squarely on its own as a triumph in Japanese literature. A worthy read.
