Sheila Heti is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on December 25, 1976 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Sheila Heti (/’ S i: l ” h e ti born on December 25, 1976) is a Canadian writer from Canada.

The novella by Heti, Ticknor, was released in 2005. The main characters of the novel are based on real-life individuals: William Hickling Prescott and George Ticknor, although the details of their lives are changed. The book has been printed in the following places: House of Anansi Press in Canada, Farrar, Straus & Giroux in the United States, and Editions Phebus in France.

Heti’s How Should a Person Be? was published in September 2010. She describes it as a work of constructed reality, based on recorded interviews with her friends, particularly the painter Margaux Williamson. It was published by Henry Holt in the United States in July 2012 in a slightly different edition (she has spoken in interviews about the edits she made), and the subtitle “A novel from life” was added. It was chosen by The New York Times as one of the 100 Best Books of 2012 and by James Wood of The New Yorker as one of the best books of the year. It was also included on year-end lists on Salon, The New Republic, The New York Observer, and more. In her 2007 interview with Dave Hickey for The Believer, she noted, “Increasingly I’m less interested in writing about fictional people, because it seems so tiresome to make up a fake person and put them through the paces of a fake story. I just – I can’t do it.”

Heti appears in Margaux Williamson’s 2010 film, Teenager Hamlet.

How is Autofiction different from memoir?

The French novelist and literature scholar, Catherine Cusset (2012) writes that autofiction differs from memoir. She states that, “ A memoir tells the reader what happened. The writing is usually clear, simple, factual, and descriptive.” Autofiction, on the other hand, brings the reader inside what happened.

What is self fiction?

Autofiction combines two mutually inconsistent narrative forms, namely autobiography and fiction. An author may decide to recount their life in the third person, to modify significant details and characters, using fictive subplots and imagined scenarios with real life characters in the service of a search for self.

Who coined autofiction?

Autofiction, which is short for autobiographical fiction, is one of those labels that ultimately doesn’t matter to the industry. Coined in 1977 by the author Serge Doubrovsky in an attempt to explain the autobiographical nature of his novel Fils, it was intended then, as now, to qualify a form of fiction.
