★来自国际畅销书《素食主义者》的作者

“令人惊叹的优美文笔……细腻华丽……对纪念逝者意义的明智反思之一。”—NPR

在作家驻留期间，一位无名叙述者专注于白色，创造性地表达她内心的痛苦。通过抒情、相互关联的故事，她努力应对困扰她家庭的悲剧，试图用白色来理解她姐姐的死。从试图想象母亲初次产奶的情景，到看着雪花飘落，再到沉思生命的无常，她编织了一个感人肺腑、感人肺腑的故事，讲述了无处不在的悲伤以及我们看待周围世界的方式。

《白皮书》以引人入胜、极其优美的语言，对色彩及其缺失、人类精神的坚韧和脆弱以及我们从毁灭的灰烬中移植新生命的尝试进行了多层次的探索。

SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE • A “formally daring, emotionally devastating, and deeply political” (The New York Times Book Review) exploration of personal grief through the prism of the color white, from the internationally bestselling author of The Vegetarian

“Stunningly beautiful writing . . . delicate and gorgeous . . . one of the smartest reflections on what it means to remember those we’ve lost.”—NPR

While on a writer’s residency, a nameless narrator focuses on the color white to creatively channel her inner pain. Through lyrical, interconnected stories, she grapples with the tragedy that has haunted her family, attempting to make sense of her older sister’s death using the color white. From trying to imagine her mother’s first time producing breast milk to watching the snow fall and meditating on the impermanence of life, she weaves a poignant, heartfelt story of the omnipresence of grief and the ways we perceive the world around us.

In captivating, starkly beautiful language, The White Book offers a multilayered exploration of color and its absence, of the tenacity and fragility of the human spirit, and of our attempts to graft new life from the ashes of destruction.
