The ice cubes are melting. Species are dying. People\, too—of different things. But what if this world is just a first draft\, made by some great artist in order to be destroyed? \nIn this first draft of the world\, a woman named Mira leaves home to study. There\, she meets Annie\, whose tremendous power opens Mira’s chest like a portal—to what\, she doesn’t know. When Mira is older\, her beloved father dies\, and his spirit passes into her. Together\, they become a leaf on a tree. But photosynthesis gets boring\, and being alive is a problem that cannot be solved\, even by a leaf. Eventually\, Mira must remember the human world she’s left behind\, including Annie\, and choose whether or not to return. \nPure Colour is a galaxy of a novel: explosive\, celestially bright\, huge\, and streaked with beauty. It is a contemporary bible\, an atlas of feeling\, and an absurdly funny guide to the great (and terrible) things about being alive. Sheila Heti is a philosopher of modern experience\, and she has reimagined what a book can hold. \nAbout Sheila Heti \nSheila Heti is the author of several books of fiction and nonfiction\, including Motherhood and How Should a Person Be?\, which New York magazine called one of the “New Classics of the 21st Century.” She was named one of “The New Vanguard” by the book critics of The New York Times\, who\, along with a dozen other magazines and newspapers\, chose Motherhood as a top book of 2018. Her books have been translated into twenty-one languages. \nAbout Elif Batuman \nElif Batuman’s first novel\, The Idiot\, was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize\, and was shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction in the UK. She is also the author of The Possessed: Adventures with Russian Books and the People Who Read Them\, which was a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award in criticism. She has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 2010 and holds a PhD in comparative literature from Stanford University. Her second novel\, Either/Or\, will publish in May. \nFAQs \nCopies of the book will be shipped on or as close to publication date (2.15.22) as possible. Ticket holders will receive tracking via email. \nTicket holders will receive a login link closer to event start date with Crowdcast password. \nThis is a ticketed live-stream event\, and a recording will be available for one week after event date for those unable to watch live. \nTo attend the event\, you must purchase a ticket through the Eventbrite page linked above. Purchase of Pure Colour made through the bookstore website does not grant entry to the event. \nWe cannot ship books outside of the U.S. We apologize for any inconvenience.
