Sheila Heti's Pure Colour is a philosophical exploration blending fiction and abstract thought, praised for its originality and poetic prose. While many commend its introspective nature and existential themes, some criticize it for being overly abstract and lacking a cohesive narrative. The novel's distinct style is both its strength and a possible barrier for readers seeking conventional storytelling.
A reader who enjoys philosophical musings, abstract narratives, and existential themes would appreciate Pure Colour by Sheila Heti. Fans of Rachel Cusk's Outline series or The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera would find similar depth and introspection in Heti's work.
