"The Middle Stories stayed with me as one of the things that actually meant something to me this year. Heti's stories don't care if you like them: they were Cleopatra in a former life. They are all things counter, original, spare, and strange. If you buy the book your best friend will steal it." - Helen DeWitt, author of Lightning Rods

Translated into French, German and Dutch.

Read reviews by Anna Altman in The New Yorker and Malcolm Harris in The New Inquiry.
