In 'Pure Colour,' Sheila Heti invites readers into a metaphysical journey through the first draft of existence—a place built for transformation, much like the canvas of an artist awaiting the genesis or the undoing of a creation. The protagonist, Mira, steps out from her familiar thresholds to immerse herself in academia, where she encounters Annie, an enigmatic figure with the power to peer into the very soul. The two forge an inexplicable connection that treads on the edges of the profound. As time ebbs away, Mira contends with the mortality and legacy of her cherished father, who, upon leaving the physical world, infuses his spirit into hers. In an extraordinary convergence, they meld into a singular entity—a leaf absorbing the sun's light yet yearning for a taste of the human spectacle left behind. Mira hovers on the brink of choices that echo through both the verdant simplicity of photosynthesis and the intricate labyrinths of human memories, inclinations, and affections. 'Pure Colour' is a narrative kaleidoscope, refracting the essences of love, loss, and the indefinable artistry of life's every moment.
