'Deeply humane, quietly devastating, mesmerisingly beautiful.'
Olivia Sudjic 'Haunting, irresistible.' Brandon Taylor 'Marvelous.'
Lauren Groff A student moves to the city to research Gothic nudes,
renting an apartment from a painter, Agnes, who lives in another
town with her husband. One day, Agnes arrives in the city and
settles into the upstairs studio. In their meetings on the stairs,
in the studio, at the corner cafe, the kitchen at dawn, Agnes tells
stories of her youth, her family, her marriage, and ideas for her
art - which is always just about to be created. As the months pass,
it becomes clear that Agnes might not have a place to return to.
The student is increasingly aware of Agnes's disintegration. Her
stories are frenetic; her art scattered and unfinished, white paint
on a white canvas. What emerges is the menacing sense that every
life is always at the edge of disaster, no matter its seeming
stability. White on White is a sharp exploration of empathy and
cruelty, and the stunning discovery of what it means to be truly
vulnerable, and laid bare. 'Gentle, mysterious and profound.'
