The A to Z of Sheila Heti

17may18:3020:00The A to Z of Sheila HetiHow do you organise a life? From worst days to best, from birth to death? Perhaps putting it in alphabetical order would be easiest. Over the course of ten years, Sheila Heti kept a record of memories and musings, questions and observations. Then she put each sentence into a spreadsheet and alphabetised it. What emerged was an abstract portrait of ten years of life. From memories of nights out and reflections on relationships to quick quips and hastily-jotted notes, Alphabetical Diaries offers kaleidoscopic insight into the mind behind Pure Colour, Motherhood, and How Should a Person Be? Confessional, perplexing, and intimate, Alphabetical Diaries is a non-traditional take on the diary format that creates a collage-like catalogue of a decade’s worth of minor and major moments.
