Entre el diario, la novela y el ensayo, #SheilaHeti y #KateZambreno escriben desde un territorio fronterizo que dinamita géneros sin renunciar a la forma. Dos libros que cuestionan la literatura. Os lo cuento en @republicalasletras.bsky.social 👇

Currently racing through Alphabet Diaries by #SheilaHeti. Every sentence has a double context: the one it may have been ripped from, and the new one in the book. Lots of poetic-feeling repetition. A decade collapsed into an alphabetical present.

Read a lot of books. Read all day. Read As I Lay Dying,perhaps…Read Faulkner,who does that…Read Lispector…Read the books you brought…Read today that Ernest Hemingway said the best state to write in is that of being in love…Reading feels like life these days.

Been thinking about authenticity, and about how we have been done a great disservice by being taught that what we are to be authentic to is our feelings, as opposed to our values.

A feeling that he will completely reject me, that I don't know what's going on, or that he's mad. A feeling that I could occupy myself with this feeling forever. A feminist feeling. A few minutes later he returned and untied me.

You know what entanglement says? No.Two particles are somehow related and they-oh yeah.Even at a distance.And one of them changes,and then the other one changes.
Instantaneously….How does information pass between them? I guess there must be some other realm….

So that is what it was, looking backwards. Mira would have needed a new thermos to put it all in, since the one she had couldn't keep her memories warm enough.

Sheila Heti’s Alphabetical Diaries and a cup of coffee on a wood counter

Very much looking forward to #AlphabeticalDiaries by #SheilaHeti @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social, especially given @sccenglish.bsky.social’s enthusiastic endorsement 📚

“The St. Alwynn Girls at Sea,” by Sheila Heti The best thing about liking a boy was that it filled in all your time. You could lie on your bed and listen to music for an entire afternoon, daydreaming about him.

No matter how screwed up our country is now, no matter how low we've fallen, we still have art. We still have brilliant writers like Sheila Heti.

Holding Sheila Heti's "Alphabetical Diaries" in the Botanical Gardens of Göttingen, in front of a big, yellow-flowering plant

10 years of diary-writing, 500,000 words boiled down to the 60,000 Sheila Heti wanted to keep, all sentences assorted alphabetically from A ("A book about how difficult it is to change ...") to Z ("Zadie Smith's husband ...")
- that's #SheilaHeti's "Alphabetical Diaries"
