Description

 

The White Book is a meditation on colour, beginning with a list of white things.

But it is also a book about mourning, and of rebirth and the tenacity of the human spirit.

It is a stunning investigation of the fragility, beauty and strangeness of life from one of the great literary voices of our time.

Wonderful. A quietly gripping contemplation on life, death and the existential impact of those who have gone before’ – Eimear McBride

The White Book is a profound and precious thing…Han Kang is a genius’ – Lisa McInerney

A brilliant psychogeography of grief, moving as it does between place, history and memory…The White Book is a mysterious text, perhaps in part a secular prayer book’ – Deborah Levy, Guardian
