Discover the mastery of short story writer Lydia Davis
Loading player...
Listen and be captivated by her exquisite brief stories.
In this episode you can join me on a journey to discover Lydia Davis, winner of the 2013 Man Booker International Prize- now known as the International Booker Prize. She is renowned for her exceptionally brief stories. Some are just one sentence long, but don’t let their brevity fool you. Each story can make you pause, contemplate and bring you delight in unexpected ways.
Rather than just interpreting her work or telling you why I think her books are worth reading, I’ll be sharing four of Lydia Davis’ short stories with you: stories that I believe are quite unique.
A special thanks to Stuart Cairns from Love Books in Melville for introducing me to Lydia Davis’ work last year. It’s been a great ride to discover her voice.
In this episode you’ll hear:
-Sketches for a Life of Wassily;
-Almost No Memory:
-Money &
-Travelling with Mother.
You can find these stories in: The Collected Stories of Lydia Davis, copyright © Lydia Davis, 2004.
I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I enjoyed reading them.
