How Should a Person Be? by Sheila Heti

4.0

A provocative fictional memoir that tackles creativity and sex in equally daring measures. On paper, this is a book I should have hated. But there was a raw truthfulness to its rampant narcissism that really rung true to a cautiously romantic, creatively-inclined person like myself. It's a guide to being an artist that is much more insightful than any of the feel-good "how to be creative" manuals that currently blight my Amazon home page suggestions.
