“I like a writer that’s trying to make their way through the world, they’re not trying to present it to you.” I love this …. so … much. The idea of a writer using their work to figure things out for themselves, not dictate to you the way of the world from On High.
i just finished reading alphabetical diaries tonight and i really, really love when you ask authors questions that expand a reader's understanding of the book. like, there's so much depth to appreciate, so much substance that one may have missed, and i just want to thank you Jaylen for giving us this opportunity to look at works in a wider lens! also, congratulations on being able to talk to Sheila Heti!
ahhh just finished pure color a week ago, my third book by her and i cant wait to get my hands on the new one. she is so smart and i'm SO!! HAPPY!! for you, you did a great job 👏👏

YES!!!!!
"I'd rather have the book change the way you experience the world than the book be a new world".. aghh and thats exactly what her books do for me
Can we all take a second to appreciate Heti’s dog Feldman just chilling in the background? 😂
An icon!
The part at 26:44 about “giving the reader everything” is SO fascinating. I love the perspective there.
Rewatching today.
Excited for your next interviews.
I adore this podcast!
