While its narrator sets out to construct a sort of 'pillow book' about her lifelong obsession with the colour blue, she ends up facing down both the painful end of an affair and the grievous injury of a dear friend. The combination produces a raw, cerebral work devoted to the inextricability of pleasure and pain, and to the question of what role, if any, aesthetic beauty can play in times of great heartache or grief.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMuch like Roland Barthes's \u003ci\u003eA Lover's Discourse\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBluets\u003c\/i\u003e has passed between lovers in the ecstasy of new love, and been pressed into the hands of the heartbroken.
