Sheila Heti ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|ʃ|iː|l|ə|_|ˈ|h|ɛ|t|ɪ}}; born 25 December 1976)[1] is a Canadian writer.

Early life

Sheila Heti was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[1] Her parents are Hungarian Jewish immigrants.[2] Her brother is the comedian David Heti.[3]

Sheila Heti attended St. Clement's School. She then studied playwriting at the National Theatre School of Canada, leaving the program after one year, then art history and philosophy at the University of Toronto.[1] She graduated from North Toronto Collegiate Institute in Toronto.

Heti has described the Marquis de Sade and Henry Miller as early literary influences.[1]

Career

Heti is a writer[4]. Her contributions span a variety of genres, including plays, short fiction, and novels[4]. She has contributed to a number of periodicals including Flare, London Review of Books, Brick, Open Letters, Maisonneuve, Bookforum, n+1, the Look, McSweeney's, and the New York Times[4]. Heti's books have been published internationally, including France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Holland, Sweden, and Denmark[4].

She works as Interviews Editor at The Believer where she also conducts interviews regularly, and she wrote a column on acting for Maisonneuve.[5]

Awards

KM Hunter Artists Award, 2002[4]; NOW Magazine Toronto Best Emerging Author 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004[4]

Acting and theater

Heti was an actress as a child, and as a teenager appeared in shows directed by Hillar Liitoja, the founder and artistic director of the experimental DNA Theatre.

Heti appears in Margaux Williamson's 2010 film, Teenager Hamlet.

Heti plays Lenore Doolan in Leanne Shapton's book, Important Artifacts and Personal Property from the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, including Books, Street Fashion, and Jewelry.

In November 2013, Jordan Tannahill directed Heti's play 'All Our Happy Days are Stupid' at Toronto's Videofag. It was remounted in February 2015 at The Kitchen in New York. Heti's decade-long struggle to write the play is a primary plot element in her novel How Should a Person Be?[6]

Books

The Middle Stories

Heti's first book, The Middle Stories, a collection of thirty short stories, was published by House of Anansi in Canada in 2001 when she was twenty-four. It was subsequently published by McSweeney's in the United States in 2002. It has been translated into German, French, Spanish and Dutch.

Ticknor

Heti's novella, Ticknor, was released in 2005. The novel's main characters are based on real people: William Hickling Prescott and George Ticknor, although the facts of their lives are altered. It was published by House of Anansi Press in Canada, Farrar, Straus & Giroux in the United States, and Éditions Phébus in France.

How Should a Person Be?

Heti's How Should a Person Be? was published in September 2010. She describes it as a work of constructed reality, based on recorded interviews with her friends, particularly the painter Margaux Williamson. It was published by Henry Holt in the United States in July 2012 in a slightly different edition (she has spoken in interviews about the edits she made), and the subtitle "A novel from life" was added. It was chosen by The New York Times as one of the 100 Best Books of 2012 and by James Wood of The New Yorker as one of the best books of the year. It was also included on year-end lists on Salon, The New Republic, The New York Observer, and more.[7] In her 2007 interview with Dave Hickey for The Believer, she noted, "Increasingly I'm less interested in writing about fictional people, because it seems so tiresome to make up a fake person and put them through the paces of a fake story. I just – I can't do it."[8]

The Chairs Are Where the People Go

In 2011, she published The Chairs are Where the People Go, which she wrote with her friend, Misha Glouberman. The New Yorker called it "a triumph of conversational philosophy" and named it one of the Best Books of 2011.

We Need a Horse

McSweeney's commissioned this children's book from Heti. It was illustrated by Clare Rojas.

Women in Clothes

In Fall 2014, Heti published a non-fiction book about women's relationship to what they wear, with co-editors Leanne Shapton and Heidi Julavits.[9] It was a crowd-sourced book, featuring the voices of 639 women from around the world. The book was published by Penguin in the US and the UK, with a German edition published in 2015 by S. Fischer, Frankfurt am Main. It spent several months on The New York Times Best Seller list.

Motherhood

{{expand section|date=January 2019}}

In May 2018, Heti published an autobiographical novel, Motherhood, focused on her deliberation on whether or not to have children.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Initially conceived as a nonfiction work, Heti explores the emphasis society places on motherhood and how women are judged regardless of their decision: "...a woman will always be made to feel like a criminal, whatever choice she makes, however hard she tries. Mothers feel like criminals. Nonmothers do, too."[18] The book was named as a shortlisted finalist for the 2018 Scotiabank Giller Prize.[19]

Other activities

Heti is the creator of Trampoline Hall, a popular monthly lecture series based in Toronto and New York, at which people speak on subjects outside their areas of expertise. The New Yorker praised the series for "celebrating eccentricity and do-it-yourself inventiveness". It has sold out every show since its inception in December 2001.

For the early part of 2008, Heti kept a blog called The Metaphysical Poll, where she posted the sleeping dreams people were having about Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton during the 2008 primary season, which readers sent in.

Personal life

Heti lives in Toronto.[1]
