Product Information
"When I was younger, thinking about whether I wanted children, I always came back to this formula: If no one told me anything about the world, I would have invented boyfriends, sex, friendships, art. I would not have invented child-rearing. I would have had to invent all these other things to fulfill real longings in me, but if no one had ever told me that a person could create a person, and raise them into a citizen, it wouldn't have occurred to me as something to do. In fact, it would have sounded like a task to very much avoid." In Motherhood, Sheila Heti asks what is gained and what is lost when a woman becomes a mother, treating the most consequential decision of early adulthood with the candor, originality, and wit that have won Heti international acclaim and made How Should A Person Be? required reading for a generation. In her late thirties, when her friends are asking when they will become mothers, Heti's narrator urgently considers whether she will do so at all. In a narrative spanning several years, casting among the influence of her peers, partner, and duties to her forbearers, she struggles to make a wise and moral choice. After seeking answers from philosophy, mysticism and chance, she discovers the answer much closer to home. The result is a courageous, keenly felt, and deeply funny novel that will surely spark a lively conversations about womanhood, parenthood, and about how--and for whom--to live.

Reviews
Praise for How Should a Person Be? : "Playful, funny, wretched, and absolutely true." -- The Paris Review "Boldly original... Gorgeously rendered." -- NPR "I don't know how to begin talking about Sheila Heti or how good she is....I am still reeling from the originality of this novel. There are passages here so striking, to read them is to be punched in the heart." -- Sloane Crosley "A really amazing metafiction-meets-nonfiction novel." -- Lena Dunham "A seriously strange but funny plunge into the quest for authenticity." -- Margaret Atwood, One of Vulture 's 10 Most Exciting Book Releases of 2018 One of The Millions ' Most Anticipated Books of 2018 One of Chicago Reader' s Books We Can't Wait to Read in 2018 "This lively, exhilaratingly smart, and deliberately, appropriately frustrating affair asks difficult questions about women's responsibilities and desires, and society's expectations." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Heti is always original." -- Library Journal "This inquiry into the modern woman's moral, social and psychological relationship to procreation is an illumination, a provocation, and a response--finally--to the new norms of femininity, formulated from the deepest reaches of female intellectual authority. It is unlike anything else I've read. Sheila Heti has broken new ground, both in her maturity as an artist and in the possibilities of the female discourse itself." --Rachel Cusk, author of Outline and Transit "I read this novel more quickly and eagerly than any I've read in ages. Sheila Heti's simple, elegant sentences invariably give pleasure; her thinking is incisive and wholly original as she grapples with the kind of unhappiness that many of us, myself included, prefer to distract ourselves from rather than look at squarely. Reading Motherhood forced me to become a little more honest with myself." --Adelle Waldman, author of The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. "Reading this beautiful novel, I felt I was watching a brilliant mind invent new tools for thinking. Sheila Heti wrings revelation from the act of asking, again and again, in ever more challenging and innovative ways, impossible questions of existence. Motherhood is a thrilling, very funny, and almost unbearably moving book." --Garth Greenwell, author of What Belongs to You "The book Sheila Heti's Motherhood reminds me of the most is Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling , except that the agonizing decision is whether to create a child, and not whether to destroy one--but it's that good, and that crazy-making. I've never seen anyone write about the relationship between childlessness, writing, and mother's sadnesses the way Sheila Heti does. I know Motherhood is going to mean a lot to many different people--fully as much so as if it was a human that Sheila gave birth to--though in a different and in fact incommensurate way. That's just one of many paradoxes that are not shied away from in this courageous, necessary, visionary book." --Elif Batuman, author of The Idiot and The Possessed "With each of her novels, Sheila Heti invents a new novel form. Motherhood is a riveting story of love and fate, a powerful inspiration to reflect, and a subtle depiction of the lives of contemporary women and men, by an exceptional artist in the prime of her powers. Motherhood constitutes its own genre within the many-faceted novel of ideas. Heti is like no one else." --Mark Greif, author of Against Everything, Early praise for Motherhood "With each of her novels, Sheila Heti invents a new novel form. Motherhood is a riveting story of love and fate, a powerful inspiration to reflect, and a subtle depiction of the lives of contemporary women and men, by an exceptional artist in the prime of her powers. Motherhood constitutes its own genre within the many-faceted novel of ideas.

That's just one of many paradoxes that are not shied away from in this courageous, necessary, visionary book." --Elif Batuman, author of The Idiot and The Possessed, One of The Wall Street Journal ''s Most Highly Anticipated Novels of 2018 One of Vulture ''s 10 Most Exciting Book Releases of 2018 One of The Millions '' Most Anticipated Books of 2018 One of Chicago Reader'' s Books We Can''t Wait to Read in 2018 "I deeply enjoyed Sheila Heti''s fractal, meticulous, and twinklingly self-aware book--in which every part seemed to know, and be informed by, every other part--about art and time and change and books and babies. Motherhood synergistically functions both as an intimate, moving, autobiographical novel and as a practical, mysterious, five-year tool used by its protagonist to help her contemplate and answer central questions in her life. I think of Motherhood as a beautiful, natural, living thing--a rare tree in the car-filled parking lot of literature, offering aesthetic and sustainable pleasures while also bristling with multiple, helpful, compassionate functions in the world. The high stakes, complexity, intensity, playfulness, seriousness, and inter-dimensionality of Motherhood ''s synthesis of art and life, of the imagination and the universe, makes me excited about both life and literature. I recommend reading and rereading Motherhood ." --Tao Lin, author of Shoplifting from American Apparel and Taipei "This lively, exhilaratingly smart, and deliberately, appropriately frustrating affair asks difficult questions about women''s responsibilities and desires, and society''s expectations." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Heti is always original." -- Library Journal "This inquiry into the modern woman''s moral, social and psychological relationship to procreation is an illumination, a provocation, and a response--finally--to the new norms of femininity, formulated from the deepest reaches of female intellectual authority.
