sheila heti and the novel 'how should a person be?'

Well, let's say it's not a matter of anti-personality, but anti-review. So on Goodreads, if it turned out that every 1 star reviewer gave 5 stars to some other author, and vice-versa. The idea reduces personality to metrics and that's wrong. But if this theory were correct, how badly would you want to meet your anti-author?

Not badly.

Really?

I don't really feel like meeting people these days.

just read the folded clock by heidi julavits and it kinda reminded me of this? maybe? altho i liked the folded clock WAY more

I met her yesterday! She visited my university to do a reading and a few of us got to have coffee with her beforehand. I brought up an essay she wrote about Annie years ago, which amused her--she mentioned that her father was a big fan of that piece. She read from her upcoming project (set to be published early next year) in which she arranges her diaries alphabetically by sentence. It was all very cool.
