Spending Time in My Head
Sheila
Heti
Saturday, June 4, 2016
“I spend most of my time in my head. You can
always work out solutions and satisfactions there.
Maybe you can’t actually bring them about, but
there’s usually a pleasant pillow of time between imagining
you can and realizing you cannot.” – Sheila Heti, Up Front
New York Times, January 18, 2013
From her debut with her story collection, The Middle
Stories, published in 2001 when she was twenty-four,
to her most recent novel, the bestseller, How Should a
Person Be?, Ms. Heti has lived in her head crafting many
solutions and satisfactions, many of which have found
their way to the pages of her seven books, including the
play All Our Happy Days are Stupid and the children’s
book We Need A Horse.
Find out what it’s like to live in her head when Ms. Heti
reads selections from her yet-to-be published new
work.

Saving Montgomery Sole
Mariko
Tamaki
Join Canadian writer Mariko Tamaki for a
reading from her new young adult novel
Saving Montgomery Sole. Montgomery Sole
is a square peg in a small town, forced to go to a
school full of jocks and girls who don’t even know
what irony is. It would all be impossible if it weren’t for
her best friends, Thomas and Naoki. The three are also
the only members of Jefferson High’s Mystery Club,
dedicated to exploring the weird and unexplained, from
ESP and astrology to super powers and mysterious
objects. Thoughtful, funny, and painfully honest,
Montgomery Sole is someone you’ll want to laugh and
cry with over a big cup of frozen yogurt with extra
toppings.
