In Ticknor, her first novel, Sheila Heti has created a memorable new hero of Prufrockian dimension. George Ticknor is trying to reconcile his own failure with the success of his boyhood friend, the famous American historian William Prescott. Situated in the complicated & contradictory moments that make friendships both tenuous & difficult to relinquish, Ticknor’s fixated thoughts about his & Prescott’s dissimilar fates lead him through a litany of rationalizations & recriminations, a psychological maze that is paranoid & harrowing as well as ludicrous & absurd. 

The stories in The Middle Stories balance wisdom & innocence, joy & foreboding. A frog doles out sage advice to a plumber infatuated with a princess, a boy falls hopelessly in love with a monkey, & a man with a hat keeps apocalyptic thoughts at bay by resolving to follow a plan that he admits he won’t stick to. Heti’s stories are not what you expect, but why did you expect that anyway? 

Sheila Heti’s critically acclaimed novel How Should a Person Be? is an unabashedly honest & hilarious tour through the unknowable pieces of one woman’s heart & mind, an irresistible torn-from-life book about friendship, art, sex, & love. Part literary novel, part self-help manual, & part racy confessional, it is a fearless exploration into the way we live now by one of Canada's most exciting literary talents.
