Sheila Heti on ALPHABETICAL DIARIES

Published: Feb. 6, 2024, 11 a.m.

\u201cI'm interested in the limitations of the mind \u2014 like that your brain really does only go down so many paths, and then there's a million paths that for some reason, it never goes down\u2026\u201d\xa0

Sheila Heti\u2019s Alphabetical Diaries is a memoir in a form all its own. Told in order, sentence by sentence from A to Z, to tell a story of identity and change in a lyrically constructed way. Heti joins us to talk about the inception and writing of this book, intense and purposeful editing, creative process and more with Miwa Messer, host of Poured Over.\xa0

This episode of Poured Over was hosted by Executive Producer Miwa Messer and mixed by Harry Liang.\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\u202f\xa0
