An impressive spectrum of meaning and feeling, both abstract and
tangible... This one-of-a-kind novel... feels nothing less than
vital.

Pure Colour is the apocalypse written as trance, a sleepwalker's
song about the end of all things... There is also Heti's lovely
prose to enjoy, her beautifully sustained tone, the way she is, as
a writer, earnest, funny and sweet... Pure Colour is an original, a
book that says something new for our difficult times.
*Guardian*
Exemplifies both originality and sharpness... the kind of book that
you start reading again as soon as you finish it, to see how on
earth the author pulled it off... Descriptions of grief that are so
surprising and true they made me gasp.
*Guardian*
Pure Colour is not just a novel, it's a creation myth, a fairy
tale, a story about making art and living on this planet. A story
about death and the irresistible inner stirrings that bring us back
to life. Beautiful and impossible to put down. Sheila Heti is a
genius.
*Avni Doshi*
Wonderfully entertaining... a treat to read. Expect to take in the
work of a true wordsmith.
