Description

Deeply humane and quietly devastating, White on White is a mesmerising exploration of empathy and cruelty. A student researching Gothic nudes moves to the city, renting an apartment from Agnes, a painter who lives in another town with her husband. As they meet on the stairs, in the studio, at the corner cafe, and in the kitchen at dawn, Agnes shares stories of her youth, family, marriage, and art. Her tales are frenetic, yet her art is scattered and unfinished, with white paint on a white canvas. The student becomes increasingly aware that Agnes's life may not be as stable as it seems. What emerges from their encounters is the menacing sense that every life is always at the edge of disaster, no matter its seeming stability. This book offers a profound discovery of what it means to be truly vulnerable and laid bare. Gentle, mysterious, and profound, White on White is a sharp exploration of human connection and the fragility of life.
