‘I am drawn to Sheila Heti’s writing like a moth to a flame andAlphabetical Diariesis 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 ofCacophony of Bone

‘I’ll read anything Sheila Heti writes.’

- Lauren Oyler, author of Fake Accounts
