"Funny...odd, original, and nearly unclassifiable...unlike any
novel I can think of."--David Haglund, The New York Times Book
Review
"Brutally honest and stylistically inventive, cerebral, and

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")
By turns loved and reviled upon its U.S. publication, Sheila
Heti's "breakthrough novel" (Chris Kraus, "Los Angeles Review of
Books") is an unabashedly honest and hilarious tour through the
unknowable pieces of one woman's heart and mind. Part literary
novel, part self-help manual, and part vivid exploration of the
artistic and sexual impulse, "How Should a Person Be?" earned Heti
comparisons to Henry Miller, Joan Didion, Mary McCarthy, and
Flaubert, while shocking and exciting readers with its raw, urgent
depiction of female friendship and of the shape of our lives now.
Irreverent, brilliant, and completely original, Heti challenges,
questions, frustrates, and entertains in equal measure. With
urgency and candor she asks: What is the most noble way to love?
What kind of person should you be?
