Reviews for Alphabetical Diaries

' 'Alphabetical Diaries is a testament to Heti's artistic power. She gently leads the reader into new dimensions of language previously undiscovered. Beautiful and uncompromising.' - Marlowe Granados, author of Happy Hour ' - ' 'A book that is in many ways is an ode to the sentence; from the muscle of single line to the power that comes with accrual. An immersive and hugely entertaining read.' - Sinead Gleeson author of Constellations ' - ' 'I am drawn to Sheila Heti's writing like a moth to a flame and Alphabetical Diaries is amongst the most affecting, exquisite books I've ever encountered. It is, simply put, utterly and startlingly good. Heti writes so creaturely, so bodily, that it feels like a whole new genre is being formed as we read.' - Kerri ni Dochartaigh author of Cacophony of Bone ' - ' 'I'll read anything Sheila Heti writes.' - Lauren Oyler, author of Fake Accounts ' - ' 'Pure Colour is the apocalypse written as trance, a sleep-walker's song about the end of all things... an original, a book that says something new for our difficult times.' - Anne Enright, Guardian (on Pure Colour) ' - '' -
