Описание: With compassion, wit and what seems to be candour, the author seeks to determine what she actually knows about herself and her past, but we begin to suspect, along with her, that given the elusiveness of memory and understanding, any tale retrieved from the past must be fiction.
Описание: The short story is one of the most varied genres in American literature. This title brings together many of its finest examples from the early nineteenth century to the present. It contains a diverse cast of characters, including convicts, artists, farm labourers, slaves, soldiers and salesmen, witches and ghosts, families and lovers.

Описание: The thirty-four stories in this seminal collection powerfully display what have become Lydia Davis’s trademarks—dexterity, brevity, understatement, and surprise. Although the certainty of her prose suggests a world of almost clinical reason and clarity, her characters show us that life, thought, and language are full of disorder. "Break It Down "is Davis at her best. In the words of Jonathan Franzen, she is “a magician of self-consciousness.”

Описание: Lydia Davis has been called "one of the quiet giants in the world of American fiction" ("Los Angeles Times"), "an American virtuoso of the short story form" ("Salon"), an innovator who attempts "to remake the model of the modern short story" ("The New York Times Book Review"). Her admirers include Grace Paley, Jonathan Franzen, and Zadie Smith; as "Time "magazine observed, her stories are "moving . . . and somehow inevitable, as if she has written what we were all on the verge of thinking." In "Varieties of Disturbance," her fourth collection, Davis extends her reach as never before in stories that take every form from sociological studies to concise poems. Her subjects include the five senses, fourth-graders, good taste, and tropical storms. She offers a reinterpretation of insomnia and re-creates the ordeals of Kafka in the kitchen. She questions the lengths to which one should go to save the life of a caterpillar, proposes a clear account of the sexual act, rides the bus, probes the limits of marital fidelity, and unlocks the secret to a long and happy life. No two of these fictions are alike. And yet in each, Davis rearranges our view of the world by looking beyond our preconceptions to a bizarre truth, a source of delight and surprise.
