This is a remarkably different and profound meditation on consciousness, memory, stories, loss and remembrance. The "white" theme carries throughout the book's poetic chapters, which are often a short paragraph, never much more than a page. I confess that I wasn't happy with the book 2/3 of the way through. "The Vegetarian" was a powerhouse of writing, character-driven and mysterious. The White Book is almost characterless, in the sense of specific identities plodding their way through a narrative. And some, but not all, of the writing is strong. But the themes come through loud and clear: What does it mean to live? Can a baby who lives only briefly really be said to have lived, when she/he never acquires language or sees clearly or learns catalogues of lived experience? Can a person -- a sister -- relate to such an individual, when the condition of the sister's birth depended on the death of the first child? Can the sister know that late sibling in any profound way? Can she memorialize her? Substitute for her life? Can loss ever be transcended? From these and other questions posed about the transience of life and its meaning -- hardly a new literary category -- it's easy to see that this is a difficult book to bear. But it's very well done and creative; and, in contrast to the vividness of the protagonist in "The Vegetarian," the characters in "The White Book" are almost damask-white against the background of the themes themselves.

Boring, mundane and seems like she had to write it to fulfill her obligation with publisher. Average at best, self-absorbed and save your money, get at library if you must read it.

This is the 3rd book I’ve read by Han Kang, a phenomenal contemporary Korean writer. ‘The Vegetarian’.....was fierce with haunting prose making it very hard to put down. It was gut-wrenching painful for me personally having survived the horrific years when our daughter was starving herself to death.....Yet....I knew I was reading something brilliant. I became an instant fan of Han Kang.The next book I read by this young exceptional author was ‘Human Acts’. It was brutal.... one that I continued to feel its depths long after I read it. Do you ever throw your hands up in the air - literary clueless in understanding why people are cruel, mean, cold hearted TO YOU?.......well....take it 1,000 steps more....Why do we have such extreme violence in the world? Bloody frightening riots - killing hundreds of people at a time. Han wrote about how a single event changed a nation in South Korea.Both books were devastatingly powerful - literary masterpieces about humanity.“The White Book” ....is equally a masterpiece- one that possibly took more courage to write than her first two books....given she is blood related to this story.Note....”The White Book” ‘does’ tell a story ....but is not written in the traditional way a novel is. Han reflects on her list of white things in short chapters, ( and inserts other relating topics), .... telling a story - from personal history - imagination, loss, grief, hope, human fragility, and love.At the start Han says, “In the spring, when I decided to write about white things, the first thing I did was make a list”:Swaddling bandsNewborn gownSaltSnowIceMoonRiceWavesYulanWhite Bird“Laughing whitely”Blank paperWhite DogWhite HairShroud “With each item I wrote down, a ripple of agitation ran through me. I felt that yes, I needed to write this book and the process of writing it would be transformative,would itself transform into something like white ointment applied to a swelling, like gauze laid over a wound. Something I needed.Han’s hopes in writing this book was to be “transformative”. It’s a story that is part of her personal history.It was definitely transformative to me. I looked at life and death in ways I haven’t before. Han opens a new pathway in which to examine life and death - past history and how it shapes our current and future selves.Starting with the title of this book: “The White Book”.....I began this book by sitting for 10 minutes -meditating - simply preparing myself to open a Han Kang book.I wondered about the title....”what might it mean to Han?” ( I’ve learned a little from the 3 books by Han: the titles of her books are ALWAYS POWERFUL with much more depth than first glance. So I wondered....”why white things”?The word *WHITE* in western cultures symbolizes purity, elegance, peace, and cleanliness; brides traditionally wear white dresses at their weddings. But in China, Korea, and some Asian countries white represents ‘death’, ‘morning’, and ‘bad luck’, and is traditionally worn at funerals.I honestly will never EVER think of a newborn’s birth- their LIFE - if they should die soon after birth - the same again - EVER - AFTER READING THIS BOOK!I know women who gave birth - and their baby died just hours after their birth. ALL I saw ( which wasn’t it enough?), was the immediate grief. I saw something else which Han presented. She shifted my thoughts about an early death. Still morning - still deep sadness from the sudden death...but what difference does this short life bring to others? I kept reading - and my mind expanded.In Han’s book - we learn that a 22 year mother gives birth to a premature baby girl. She is dead in two hours. From there - as I continued reading - I began to look how this baby girl’s life - for two hours- spoke to Han [the inspiration for this book comes from true events in Han’s life] ....at some point.....”it occurred to me that if I had been similarity visited myself, by my mothers first child who had lived just two hours, I would have been utterly oblivious.Because the girl had never learn language at all. For an hour her eyes opened, held them in The direction of our mother’s face, but her optic nerves never had time to awaken and so that face had remained beyond reach. For her, there would have been only a voice, ( the mother’s voice of grief), >....’DON’T DIE. FOR GOD’S SAKE DON’T DIE’. Unintelligible words, the only words she was ever to hear”.More memories.... The year after the mother lost her first child, she had another premature baby.“Had those lives made it safely past the point of crisis, my own birth, which followed three years later, and that of my brother four years after, would not have come about”.“This life needed only one of us to live it. If you had lived beyond those first few hours, I would not be living now. My life means yours is impossible. Only in the gap between darkness and light, only in that blue-tinged breach, do we manage to make out each other’s faces”.The narrator was vitality aware of walking side by side with her sister. The sister she never knew - the sister she wished for - the sister who the narrator loved. They shared a profound unspoken language together. YOUR EYES“ I saw differently when I looked through your eyes. I walked differently when I walked with your body. I wanted to show you clean things. Before brutality, sadness, despair, pain, clean things were only for you, clean things above all. But I didn’t come off as I intended. Again and again I peered into your eyes, as though searching for form in a deep, black mirror”.There are other short stories - about a dog, a white butterfly, a white bird, wild ducks, university classmates who had studied literature together , ( their death), ....and their life - rejuvenation, revivification and White Flowers .....“The brief March blooming of two yulans”. Touching story.Another achingly beautiful book, by Han Kang, ( A woman I wish was my own sister), with it’s ‘new-ways-of-looking-at-life-and-death’, .....will stay with me for a long time.Grateful to be offered an advance copy by Crown Publishing, Netgalley, and Han Kang

The narrator of this book doesn’t have a name in the book, although it’s no secret that this is an autobiographical work by this author and is a love letter to her long deceased older sister. The book starts with a list of white items, including swaddling bands, newborn gown, snow, ice and shroud. This book is a series of very short chapters consisting of meditation-like bursts of thoughts. Running through these thoughts is the story of the author’s young mother whose first child died only a couple of hours after birth. Throughout the years, the author has often thought of her sister and the grief that has never ended for her family.The author not only writes about her sister’s death and the subsequent grief that death imposed upon her family but also writes in such beautiful detail of her sister’s two hours of life. I think one of the most touching parts of the book is when the author speaks directly to her sister, telling her how much she would have loved having a big sister.This book has been short listed for the 2018 Man Booker International Prize and I can certainly understand why. Ms. Kang never fails to impress with the uniqueness of her work. “The Vegetarian” and “Human Acts” are both books that I will never forget and wrench my heart just thinking about them. I know that her newest book will be one that I will pick up again and will open randomly just to enjoy reading one of these lovely ruminations. I read a review that referred to the author’s short chapters as prayers and I think that is totally appropriate.Most highly recommended.
