The New York Times Book ReviewI do not think this novel knows everything, but Sheila Heti does know something about how many of us, right now, experience the world, and she has gotten that knowledge down on paper, in a form unlike any other novel I can think of.

From the PublisherA New York Times Notable Book of 2012
"Ms. Heti's deadpan, naked voice is what makes Sheila's journey so engaging… [Her] mordant take on modernity encourages introspection. It is easy to see why a book on the anxiety of celebrity has turned the author into one herself." –The Economist.
"A significant cultural artifact."—LA Review of Books
"Funny…odd, original, and nearly unclassifiable…Sheila Heti does know something about how many of us, right now, experience the world, and she has gotten that knowledge down on paper, in a form unlike any other novel I can think of.
