Description

WINNER OF THE 2024 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE
SHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE

'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

From the author of The Vegetarian and Human Acts comes a book like no other. 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
