Love her stories, her language, her spirit, her sense of observation, her humor. (

This small rather large chunk of a book is filled with stories that intrigue and make you wonder at what you just read. The humanity, humor, and relentless inventiveness on every page opens new vistas in what story-telling is all about. What does it mean to be an author, a writer, someone who puts words on paper - permanent, yet distilling the evanescent thoughts that might otherwise have been forgotten? Every time I open the book and read I end up setting it down so I can laugh or cry or more often sit and wonder at what just happened. (

I read this for grad school. It's fine. It's the kind of book you read for grad school. We share a birthday but she's more Rembrandt than Roky Erickson. (

Caratterizzati dalla brevità delle flash fiction e spesso paragonabili a monologhi filosofici, i suoi racconti sono stati premiati nel 2013 con il Man Booker International Prize

Lydia Davis is a genius! The first three books in this collection; Break It Down, Almost No Memory, Samuel Johnson is Indignant, were wonderful. However the final book, Varieties of Disturbance, while good, felt more forced and less natural to me. However, her writing is concise, insightful, and beautiful in all four books collected here.
I highly recommend this book! I'm giving the book 4.5 stars out of 5. (

Davis approaches the short-story form with jazzy experimentation, tinkering with lists, circumlocutions, even interviews where the questions have been creepily edited out. You don’t work your way across this mesa-sized collection so much as pogo-stick about, plunging in wherever the springs meet the page.

With the publication of this big book... Davis might well receive the kind of notice she's long been due. She is the funniest writer I know; the unique pleasure of her wit resides in its being both mordant and beautifully sorrowful

I kept tripping on the street and walking into walls. Everything I said made me want to laugh. But near the end of the hour I was also telling him how face-to-face with another person I couldn't speak. There was always a wall. "Is there a wall between you and me now?" he would ask. No, there was no wall there anymore.
