A review by toomanybeas
Pure Colour by Sheila Heti

2.0

I wanted to like this book but I just couldn't get into it. I got three quarters through and then decided that there's too many books in the world that I want to read to read ones I don't get anything out of. I can see what Heti was trying to do, and I'm sure there's lots of people who will love this book and relate to it. For me it felt disjointed, and some of the metaphors felt like they were added for shock value rather than meaning. Maybe it would have been more effective as prose poetry.
