Suri from Time Out joins Jonny for Loose Reads today! Suri reviews Alphabetical Diaries by Sheila Heti, an experimental take on the memoir format. In Alphabetical Diaries, Heti alphabetically orders 10 years worth of journalled sentences (with the aid of an Excel spreadsheet). The book is the product of a decade of editing, so that only Heti's favourite sentences remained. Whilst some letters contain many entries, others such as Q only contain one. It's a blend of literary criticism and a peep into an author's most intimate thoughts.
