Description
It's about the surrounding world - sky, trees, lakes, stars - and, as Heti writes, 'the world beyond this world', which can be glimpsed in rare moments when something shattering occurs.
Pure Colour is a galaxy of a novel: explosive, celestially bright, huge, and streaked with beauty.
'A story about making art and living on this planet...Beautiful and impossible to put down. Sheila Heti is a genius' Avni Doshi 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. _______________________ PRAISE FOR SHEILA HETI: 'Exhilarating...it made me want to write' Sally Rooney, on How Should a Person Be?
