How Should A Person Be?
Sheila HetiReeling from a failed marriage, Sheila, a 20-something playwright, finds herself unsure of how to live & create. When Margaux, a talented painter & free spirit, & Israel, a sexy & depraved artist, enter her life, Sheila hopes that through close - sometimes too close - observation of her new friend, her new lover, & herself, she might regain her footing in art & life.
“Funny…odd, original, & nearly unclassifiable…Sheila Heti does know something about how many of us, right now, experience the world, & she has gotten that knowledge down on paper, in a form unlike any other novel I can think of.” – David Haglund, NY Times Book ReviewUsing transcribed conversations, real emails, plus heavy doses of fiction, the brilliant & always innovative Sheila Heti crafts a work that is part literary novel, part self-help manual, & part bawdy confessional. It's a totally shameless & 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?
“[Sheila Heti] has an appealing restlessness, a curiosity about new forms, & an attractive freedom from pretentiousness or cant…How Should a Person Be? offers a vital & funny picture of the excitements & longueurs of trying to be a young creator in a free, late-capitalist Western City…This talented writer may well have identified a central dialectic of 21st-century postmodern being.” - James Wood, New Yorker
