When he finishes his game, he heads home to his apartment in Mount Judge, a suburb of the much larger 100,000-resident city of Brewer. In fact, at the very, very beginning of John Updike’s 1960 novel Rabbit, Run, the 26-year-old, 6’ 3” Harry is playing pickup basketball with some kids, young enough to know nothing of his fame a decade earlier. Rabbit was a high school athlete, a star basketball player, known for scoring and never getting called for a foul. His hands lift of their own and he feels the wind on his ears even before, his heels hitting heavily on the pavement at first but with an effortless gathering out of a kind of sweet panic growing lighter and quicker and quieter, he runs. At the end, he is running willy-nilly, without direction, into the unknown. Later, he is running to - to the hospital. ![]() At the start, Harry Angstrom, nicknamed Rabbit, is running away. ![]() ![]() Then it occurred to me that a play would be even better. I had known about the meeting between Leibniz and Spinoza, but that was when I got the idea that it would make a great subject for a novel. I happened to be passing through Holland in the mid-90s, and I was re-reading Spinoza. How did you come to this particular story about the relationship between these two philosophers? Depending how you look at it, you could say that God ended up on one side or the other – or he got lost in the shuffle. So thinkers of the time asked themselves, who is God? And what does he do? Leibniz and Spinoza came up with some very radical – and radically different – answers to these questions. The emergence of a scientific understanding of the world at the time made it impossible for many people to believe in the old miracle-working deity who lived on a mountain or in the clouds. ![]() ![]() Actually, it was kind of an existential crisis. ![]() But here’s the teaser: God underwent a major personality change in the late seventeenth century. Of course, I wouldn’t want to give away the plot to my book. Let’s start with the punch-line: So what is the fate of God in the modern world? ![]() ![]() Her close but sometimes bruisingly intimate friendship with the artist Margaux Williamson (Heti’s actual collaborator on a number of artistic projects) guides her through a number of personal discoveries but sometimes appears to be a crutch. ![]() She is trying to write a play, which she continually quits and picks up again, while supporting herself working in a hair salon. Now Heti has turned the Ticknor treatment on herself in her latest “novel from life.” How Should a Person Be?, based on recorded conversations between Heti and her friends, describes a woman named Sheila making a life in Toronto after leaving her husband, panicking over her own inability to commit to relationships and to projects. The fact that a major newspaper assigned a review of it in 2006 to me, then a semi-employed magazine intern, said plenty about the status of Canadian fiction in the United States, or perhaps of experimental literary fiction generally. It was also a stylish experiment in literary form. The book was a satire on nineteenth-century biography and an exploration of a twisted and self-flagellating psyche. ![]() In it, she told the story of real-life author George Ticknor’s life through his own obsessive mental cycles as he walks to a dinner party thrown by the subject of the biography he has written. ![]() SHEILA HETI’S FIRST novel, Ticknor, was tiny and at first glance rambling-but in fact, beautifully composed and orchestrated. ![]() |
