{"product_id":"9781846276958","title":"The White Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom Booker Prize-winner and literary phenomenon Han Kang, a lyrical and disquieting exploration of personal grief, written through the prism of the color white\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile on a writer's residency, a nameless narrator wanders the twin white worlds of the blank page and snowy Warsaw. THE WHITE BOOK becomes a meditation on the color white, as well as a fictional journey inspired by an older sister who died in her mother's arms, a few hours old. The narrator grapples with the tragedy that has haunted her family, an event she colors in stark white--breast milk, swaddling bands, the baby's rice cake-colored skin--and, from here, visits all that glows in her memory: from a white dog to sugar cubes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the writer reckons with the enormity of her sister's death, Han Kang's trademark frank and chilling prose is softened by retrospection, introspection, and a deep sense of resilience and love. THE WHITE BOOK--ultimately a letter from Kang to her sister--offers powerful philosophy and personal psychology on the tenacity and fragility of the human spirit, and our attempts to graft new life from the ashes of destruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Han+Kang\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eHan Kang\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Han Kang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47382520758435,"sku":"9781846276958","price":300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781846276958_c60ba54b-609c-4b33-9711-ae60bbc1906f.jpg?v=1776601914","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781846276958","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
