Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2013 Sheila's twenties
were going to plan. She got married. She hosted parties. A theatre
asked her to write a play. Then she realised that she didn't know
how to write a play. That her favourite part of the party was
cleaning up after the party. And that her marriage made her feel
like she was banging into a brick wall. So Sheila abandons her
marriage and her play, befriends Margaux, a free and untortured
painter, and begins sleeping with the dominating Israel, who's a
genius at sex but not at art. She throws herself into recording
them and everyone around her, investigating how they live,
desperate to know, as she wanders, How Should a Person Be? Using
transcripts, real emails, plus heavy doses of fiction, Heti crafts
an exciting, courageous, and mordantly funny tour through one
woman's heart and mind.
