What if this world is just a first draft, made by some great artist in order to be destroyed?
In this first draft, a woman named Mira leaves home to study. There, she meets Annie, whose tremendous power opens Mira s chest like a portal - to what, she doesn t know. When Mira is older, her beloved father dies, and she enters that strange and dizzying dimension that true loss opens up.
Pure Colour tells the story of a life, from beginning to end. It is a galaxy of a novel: explosive, celestially bright, huge, and streaked with beauty. It is a contemporary bible, an atlas of feeling, and a shape-shifting epic. Sheila Heti is a philosopher of modern experience, and she has reimagined what a book can hold.

Sheila Heti has broken new ground Rachel Cusk, on Motherhood
Complex, artfully messy and hilarious Miranda July, on How Should a Person Be?
Thrilling, very funny, and almost unbearably moving Garth Greenwell, on Motherhood
Courageous, necessary, visionary Elif Batuman, on Motherhood
