Biographical note
Sheila Heti is the author of ten books, including the novels Pure Colour, Motherhood and How Should a Person Be?, which New York magazine deemed one of the 'New Classics' of the twenty-first century and which was longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction. Her novels have been translated into twenty-four languages. She lives in Toronto and Kawartha Lakes, Ontario.An impressive spectrum of meaning and feeling, both abstract and tangible... <b>This one-of-a-kind novel... feels nothing less than vital</b>.
- Anthony Cummins, Observer
<i>Pure Colour</i> is the apocalypse written as trance, a sleepwalker's song about the end of all things... There is also Heti's lovely prose to enjoy, her beautifully sustained tone, the way she is, as a writer, earnest, funny and sweet... <b><i>Pure Colour</i> is an original, a book that says something new for our difficult times</b>.
- Anne Enright, Guardian
<b>Exemplifies both originality and sharpness</b>... the kind of book that you start reading again as soon as you finish it, to see how on earth the author pulled it off... Descriptions of grief that are so surprising and true they made me gasp.
- Hadley Freeman, Guardian
<i>Pure Colour</i> is not just a novel, it's a creation myth, a fairy tale, a story about making art and living on this planet. A story about death and the irresistible inner stirrings that bring us back to life. <b>Beautiful and impossible to put down. Sheila Heti is a genius.</b>
- Avni Doshi,
Wonderfully entertaining...<b> a treat to read.</b> Expect to take in the work of a true wordsmith.
- Kiran Meeda, Stylist
What makes Heti's novels so compelling is... the questions her characters need answering at moments of flux in their lives... <b>[<i>Pure Colour</i>]<i> </i>left me full of admiration and wonder.</b>
- Johanna Thomas-Corr, New Statesman
An explicitly mystical book... <b>So new...This book, so full of argument, feels weightless.</b>
- Parul Sehgal, The New Yorker
<b>Just like that, there's magic</b>. Like Iris Murdoch's novels, Heti's are philosophically intense, although Heti's work is pared down where Murdoch's was Rabelaisian. <b>Heti owns a sharp axe. In </b><b><i>Pure Colour</i> the wood chips that fall are as interesting as the sculpture that gets made.</b>
- Dwight Garner, The New York Times
<b>Buoyed by a dazzling assortment of questions, curiosities and wild propositions that betray the author's agile and untamed mind...</b>[<i>Pure Colour</i>] brings into view a certain organic and ecstatic wholeness: bright splashes of feeling and folly, of grief and loss...[it] defies classification.
- Alexandra Kleeman, New York Times Book Review
<b>Heti excels at small moments, delicately revealed.</b>
