Recently, York\u2019s Canadian Writers in Person course and lecture series presented author Sheila Heti reading from her book How Should a Person Be<\/em>? Special correspondent Chris Cornish (BA Hons. \u201904, MA \u201909) sent the following report to\u00a0YFile<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I said to myself, <\/em>You are only given one.\u00a0 The one you are given is the one to put a fence around.\u00a0 Life is not a harvest.\u00a0 Just because you have an apple, doesn\u2019t mean you have an orchard.\u00a0 You have an apple.\u00a0 Put a fence around it.\u00a0 Once you have put a fence around everything you value, then you have the total circle of your heart.<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Sheila Heti<\/p><\/div>\n

For Sheila Heti, truth isn\u2019t necessarily stranger than fiction. Rather, fiction and non-fiction are friends and like any good friendship, it\u2019s hard to say who brings more to the relationship. Her third book, How Should a Person Be?<\/em> draws substantially from her real-life friendship with the painter Margaux Williamson, sometimes including transcripts from their conversations. In many ways it is a collaborative dialogue that explores more than just the question in the title.\u00a0Heti was the featured presenter at the Jan. 13 session of Canadian Writers in Person.<\/p>\n

The question of boundaries between self and persona seems especially prevalent in a digital world where the barriers between public and private are increasingly blurry. Many of Heti\u2019s friends also traverse this territory: she appears as herself in Williamson's film and Sholem Krishtalka, also a character in her book, paints his friends as characters from Andy Warhol\u2019s circle. Williamson was a little more nervous about being captured in print, though she had a lot of input and read several drafts of Heti\u2019s novel. She overcame this by believing that the solution is not to protect oneself but to have many different representations in the world, to let oneself be \u201cradically used.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, it was Williamson who convinced Heti that using their real names in the book was not only braver but would make readers question the lines between fact and fiction even more. Fictional names would also suggest they had something to hide, as if behind a mask. Even still, the success and attention the novel received, reviewers assuming they knew the people behind the characters, made their friendship a little topsy-turvy and self-conscious for a little while. Heti also lost another friend who felt uncomfortable with their portrayal in the book, the fiction influencing the reality.<\/p>\n

For this reason, Heti thinks her novel has something in common with reality TV shows, leading her to the question: what is an artist?\u00a0 The prologue considers what our culture expects of geniuses, artists, and women and Heti\u2019s humorous answer is Paris Hilton, someone more famous for her onscreen sexual exploits than anything else.\u00a0 She was intrigued by our culture\u2019s obsession with celebrity: \u201cYou think you\u2019re getting them, but it\u2019s an edited version of them.\u00a0 Only God knows the real you, but when there\u2019s no God, you\u2019re witnessed by the people who watch your show, which is only a surface reality,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n

\"TheThe novel is so closely bound to the time period in which she wrote it that Heti often remembers the book version more than the actual events. \u00a0Like any author who gets closely connected their characters, she almost became the fictionalized version of herself.\u00a0 \u201cMy life became fiction and the book was a documentary of that fiction,\u201d she said. The transcripts give the book a documentary feel, but she also cites a poor memory for depending on the recording. \u201cThe trick of art is to hide the things you\u2019re not good at, or to find some clever way around it,\u201d said Heti.<\/p>\n

What is art?\u00a0 Heti\u2019s novel begins and ends with a friendly art contest, one where the ugliest painting wins.\u00a0 Before meeting her painter friend, she used to think that creating art required faithfulness to a perfect vision of what\u2019s in your head, revising and polishing it into a perfect jewel.\u00a0 In contrast, the book's central character Margaux pursues her work stroke by stroke on the canvas to see where the paint leads her, without looking back.\u00a0 It\u2019s this messiness, even ugliness, to which we can relate because though you may admire a work of artistic perfection: \u201cIt\u2019s not going to get inside you in the same way.\u201d<\/p>\n

This contest happened in real life and though Heti herself doesn\u2019t paint, she feels like this book is her entry into the ugly painting competition. She doesn\u2019t feel it necessarily answers any of the questions it raises and \u201cI don\u2019t have a universal idea of what people should do,\u201d she said. A central concern of her novel is the fear of becoming a puer aeturnus<\/em>, the Peter Pan who never finishes anything or commits to anyone.\u00a0 After writing the novel, what she calls a \u201cself-help book for myself,\u201d this is no longer a problem for Heti.\u00a0 She has learned to \u201cdo that Margaux thing, and make the best of what\u2019s around you,\" she said. \"You change to make the circumstances around you great, rather than look for the best circumstances or best person.\"<\/p>\n

The Canadian Writers in Person series of public readings at York, which are free and open to the public, is also part of an introductory course on Canadian literature. It is sponsored in part by the Canada Council for the Arts.\u00a0 For a full schedule of upcoming writers this year, see <\/em>YFile, Sept. 9, 2014<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
