WHITE ON WHITE: Ayşegül Savaş

WHITE ON WHITE

by Ayşegül Savaş

This book feels quiet and gentle, until it doesn’t. There’s something unnerving underneath its cool, calm exterior. The restraint on the surface level—the spare, elegant prose and the narrator’s observational, detached voice—belies something more complex in this story about art, representation and the parameters of empathy. Perfect for fans of Katie Kitamura, Jhumpha Lahiri and Rachel Cusk.
