It is a contemporary bible, an atlas of feeling, and an absurdly funny guide to the great (and terrible) things about being alive. Sheila Heti is a philosopher of modern experience, and she has reimagined what a book can hold.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Here we are, just living in the first draft of Creation, which was made by some great artist, who is now getting ready to tear it apart.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In this first draft of the world, a woman named Mira leaves home to study. There, she meets Annie, whose tremendous power opens Mira's chest like a portal--to what, she doesn't know. When Mira is older, her beloved father dies, and his spirit passes into her. Together, they become a leaf on a tree. But photosynthesis gets boring, and being alive is a problem that cannot be solved, even by a leaf. Eventually, Mira must remember the human world she's left behind, including Annie, and choose whether or not to return.\u003c\/p\u003e spirit passes into her. Together, they become a leaf on a tree.
