The novel uses an unconventional narrative and short meditations on the color white to discuss grief, loss, and the fragile nature of the human spirit. The book has been described as "a fragmented autobiographical meditation on the death of the unnamed narrator’s baby sister, who died two hours after her birth.". The setting is in post World War II Warsaw, Poland. While on a writer’s residency, a nameless narrator focuses on the color white to creatively channel her inner pain. The English translation by Deborah Smith was first published by Portobello Books in 2017. The White Book ( 흰) is a 2016 novel by the Korean novelist Han Kang which was short-listed for the 2018 Man Booker International Prize. When the apprentice falls asleep, however, he awakens to find himself in a bit of a predicament. Its story revolves around an apprentice of a great sorcerer who has grown tired from repetitive manual labor, and decides to automate his chores with a little help from his departed master’s hat. He chose The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, an 1897 concert piece by French composer Paul Dukas, which was based on a 1797 poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, which itself was based on a 2nd century tale by the Greek satirist Lucian. “Music has always played a very important part since sound came to the cartoon,” Walt said. He had already enjoyed success with his music-driven Silly Symphonies series. In 1937, several months before the premiere of Snow White, Walt expressed a desire to set animation to classical music. The other, a series of animated sequences set to classical music, was known early on as The Concert Feature. One of the first two animated features completed there was Bambi. the first being "The Sorcerer's Apprentice":Īfter the phenomenal success of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disney utilized its earnings to construct a new, state-of-the-art studio on Buena Vista Street in Burbank, California.

The Witness for the Dead follows Thara Celehar, the Witness Maia brought on in the first book to investigate the late emperor’s assassination. Often, it felt like showing trauma on-page was used as a substitute for characterization or growth. The archaic and dense courtly language that gave The Goblin Emperor its charm and delightful sense of otherness was also much reduced. It seemed to take the things I’d loved in The Goblin Emperor and watered them down, replacing the intensely character-focused narrative with a plot-focused one. Sadly, it did not capture that same spirit, though it did seem to try. I wanted to feel that same magic, rooting for an underdog character doing their best in a strange, mysterious, and often opaque new world. Reader, I desperately wanted this book to be The Goblin Emperor 2. I reread The Goblin Emperor before diving in, and I was primed for the continuation of those warm, optimistic feelings. I went into The Witness for the Dead with a full heart and high hopes. Thank you to Tor Books for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
