ONE OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES'S 15 BEST BOOKS OF 2024
“Powerful and intimate. . . . [Alphabetical Diaries] is made up of Heti’s frank, funny, filthy, and casually philosophical diaries, ten years of them. . . . Heti has written a small classic; she has shot a lasting arrow into the hide of the memoir form. . . . A profound experience.” —Dwight Garner, The New York Times
“[Alphabetical Diaries] burrows so deeply into a single psyche that it transcends the personal, as if emerging from one collective, neurotic consciousness. . . . The [result] is exhilarating: both intimate and withholding, repetitive and generative. . . . A monologue that is meditative, propulsive and yet yearning, like a chant, a mantra or a prayer.’” —The New Statesman
“Profound. We see [Heti’s] fixations, her questions about life, love, writing and making a home in the world, weave in and out of her mind for a decade, with the constancy of the moon crossing the night sky. . . . It’s hypnotically satisfying. . . . Alphabetical Diaries beautifully expands and complements Heti’s larger, moral project.” —The Globe and Mail
