內容簡介

內容簡介 【★2024諾貝爾文學獎、曼布克國際文學獎】Winner of 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature and 2016 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, GuardianFrom 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.From the author of The Vegetarian and Human Acts comes a book like no other.
