The Korean author begins the book with a list of white things: snow, white paper, moon, newborn's gown, etc. This could very well turn into an artistic or emotional exploration of the colour WHITE. Instead, the author takes us on a journey to a world of grief made beautiful by its simple honesty. It is a deep and shimmering story, and a work of exquisite genius.
