Двадцатилетие Шейлы шло по плану • Она вышла замуж • Она устраивала вечеринки • Один театр попросил ее написать пьесу • Потом она поняла, что не знает, как написать пьесу • Что ее любимой частью вечеринки была уборка после вечеринки • И что из-за своего брака она чувствовала себя так, словно врезалась в кирпичную стену • Итак, Шейла бросает свой брак и свою пьесу, заводит дружбу с Марго, свободной художницей, не подвергающейся пыткам, и начинает спать с доминирующим Израэлем, который гений в сексе, но не в искусстве. Она бросается записывать их и всех, кто ее окружает, исследуя, как они живут, отчаянно желая узнать, пока она блуждает, каким должен быть Человек? • Используя стенограммы, реальные электронные письма, а также изрядную долю художественной литературы, Шила Хети в своем романе "Каким должен быть человек?" проводит захватывающее, смелое и пронзительно смешное путешествие по сердцу и разуму одной женщины подробнее
