Fiction
A raw, startling, genre-defying novel of friendship, sex,
and love in the new millennium—a compulsive read that's like
"spending a day with your new best friend" (Bookforum) Reeling from a failed marriage, Sheila, a twentysomething
playwright, finds herself unsure of how to live and create.
When Margaux, a talented painter and free spirit, and
Israel, a sexy and depraved artist, enter her life, Sheila
hopes that through close—sometimes too close—observation of
her new friend, her new lover, and herself, she might regain
her footing in art and life. Using transcribed conversations, real emails, plus heavy
doses of fiction, the brilliant and always innovative Sheila
Heti crafts a work that is part literary novel, part
self-help manual, and part bawdy confessional. It's a
totally shameless and dynamic exploration into the way we
live now, which breathes fresh wisdom into the eternal
questions: What is the sincerest way to love? What kind of
person should you be?
