Han Kang, the author of 'The Vegetarian' has written a powerful autobiographical meditation on the life and death of a newborn sister. 'The White Book' is a fragmented autobiographical meditation on the death of the unnamed narrator’s baby sister, who died two hours after her birth. Han wisely gives as much value to those heightened two hours of life as she does to her death.
