Recensioner i media

"Helen Fielding made it funny and fictional in Bridget Jones's Diary; Elizabeth Gilbert did it without laughs in Eat, Pray, Love. Now in this mashup of memoir, fiction, self-help and philosophy, Sheila Heti has added a bit of a story, quite a few blow jobs and some cheeky exclamation marks, and finally made it credible" Guardian "A really amazing metafiction-meets-nonfiction novel" Lena Dunham, star and creator of HBO series 'Girls' "A beguiling "novel from life" about creativity and authenticity" Guardian Pick of 2013 "Funny, bawdy and fiercely original, this is the book everyone's talking about - and for good reason" Easy Living "A shamelessly funny read that's got all of America talking" Grazia
