A student at the Academy of Art Criticism named Mira loves art more than anything in the world, works part-time at a decorative lamp store, and moves from one damp apartment to another. A sudden encounter with the mysterious and detached Annie and the death of her caring father turn her life upside down, forcing her to see herself, her relationships with people, and the world around her from a completely new perspective.
In her new novel, Sheila Heti moves away from the tools of autofiction and immerses readers in a fictional, almost fairytale reality, where the abstract and metaphysical exist alongside the tangible and earthly. What if the world is just a rough draft destined to disappear so that God, learning from mistakes, creates a second version - flawless - while bird-people, fish-people, and bear-people criticize his work and seek impossible closeness with each other? Sheila Heti's poetic and paradoxical novel "Pure Colour" reads like a modern parable about love and loss, creation and imperfection, and how difficult it is to find the right distance with those we hold dear.
Sheila Heti is a Canadian writer, author of books such as "How Should a Person Be?", "Motherhood", "Pure Colour", and others. She is included in the list of fifteen writers from around the world who are shaping the face of literature in the 21st century according to The New York Times. Her books have been translated into twenty-five languages. She lives in Toronto.
