A student moves to the city to research Gothic nudes. She rents an apartment from a painter, Agnes, who lives in another town with her husband. One day, Agnes arrives in the city and settles into the upstairs studio.
In their meetings on the stairs, in the studio, at the corner café, the kitchen at dawn, Agnes tells stories of her youth, her family, her marriage, and ideas for her art - which is always just about to be created. As the months pass, it becomes clear that Agnes might not have a place to return to. The student is increasingly aware of Agnes's disintegration. Her stories are frenetic; her art scattered and unfinished, white paint on a white canvas.
What emerges is the menacing sense that every life is always at the edge of disaster, no matter its seeming stability. Alongside the research into human figures, the student is learning, from a cool distance, about the narrow divide between happiness and resentment, creativity and madness, contentment and chaos.
White on White is a sharp exploration of empathy and cruelty, and the stunning discovery of what it means to be truly vulnerable, and laid bare.

New Yorker Anointed: This novel has already been excerpted in The New Yorker to widespread excitement, and Ayesgul has a new story forthcoming in early 2021.
International Star: White on White will be published all over the world, and Aysegul is seen as a young Rachel Cusk or Annie Ernaux, writing in a European tradition and making it new.
Brilliant, Unexpected Style: Aysegul's writing in this slim, commanding novel overtakes the reader and captivates attention. The narrator has no identity-you don't know whether they're male or female, where they're from, etc.-and the book becomes a love story and a revenge story of Agnes, the artist at the center of the novel, where you're left surprised by the ending.
