The White Book: A Novel

FROM HAN KANG, WINNER OF THE 2024 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE. Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize. A formally daring, emotionally devastating exploration of personal grief through the prism of the color white. The White Book is a meditation on color, as well as an attempt to make sense of the author's older sister's death, who died in her mother's arms just a few hours after she was born. In captivating, starkly beautiful language, it is a letter from Kang to her sister, offering a multilayered exploration of color and its absence, and of the tenacity and fragility of the human spirit.
