강보, 배내옷, 각설탕, 입김, 달, 쌀, 파도, 백지, 백발, 수의…. 작가로부터 불려나온 흰 것의 목록은 총 65개의 이야기로 파생되어 ‘나’와 ‘그녀’와 ‘모든 흰’이라는 세 개의 장 아래 담겨 있다. 한 권의 소설이지만 각 소제목, 흰 것의 목록들 아래 각각의 이야기들이 그 자체로 밀도 있는 완성도를 자랑한다.
‘나’에게는 죽은 어머니가 스물세 살에 낳았다 태어난 지 두 시간 만에 죽었다는 ‘언니’의 사연이 있다. 나는 지구의 반대편의 오래된 한 도시로 옮겨온 뒤에도 자꾸만 떠오르는 오래된 기억들에 사로잡힌다. 나에게서 비롯된 이야기는 ‘그녀’에게로 시선을 옮겨간다. 나는 그녀가 나대신 이곳으로 왔다고 생각하고, 그런 그녀를 통해 세상의 흰 것들을 다시금 만나기에 이른다.
The novel uses an unconventional narrative and short meditations on the color white to discuss grief, loss, and the fragile nature of the human spirit.
