My beautiful copy of The White Paper (Le Livre Blanc) by Jean Cocteau.

The White Book is a meditation on grief using a study of white things, author wrote this book to add spark in the memories of events she did—and did not—experience, especially the birth and deaths.

From the winner of the Man Booker International Prize for "The Vegetarian". Both the most autobiographical and the most experimental book to date from South Korean master Han Kang. Written while on a writer's residency in Warsaw, a city palpably scarred by the violence of the past, the narrator finds herself haunted by the story of her older sister, who died a mere two hours after birth. A fragmented exploration of white things - the swaddling bands that were also her shroud, the breast milk she did not live to drink, the blank page on which the narrator herself attempts to reconstruct the story - unfold in a powerfully poetic distillation. As she walks the unfamiliar, snow-streaked streets, lined by buildings formerly obliterated in the Second World War, their identities blur and overlap as the narrator wonders, 'Can I give this life to you?'. The White Book is a book like no other. It is a meditation on a colour, on the tenacity and fragility of the human spirit, and our attempts to graft new life from the ashes of destruction. #HanKang #thewhitebook #southkorea #TheVegetarian #ManBooker #literature #books #lydiapsaradelli (στην τοποθεσία Athens, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKOR4soJ4LS/?igshid=vj0lvskjoz6e

I finally have it. It’s going to be my treat after finishing my thesis chapter, writing two more short stories and writing A review of Ekow Duker’s The God Who Made Mistakes. #hankang #thewhitebook #bookstagram (Thank You @shan_drie_3 ) (at Seattle Coffee Shop)

About mourning, rebirth and the tenacity of the human spirit. It is a stunning investigation of the fragility, beauty and the strangeness of life. #daily #dailyphoto #데일리 #데일리그램 #데일리포토 #한강 #흰 #thewhitebook
