recommend important works of Lydia Davis, winner of the Booker International Prize. 113 short and pithy strange stories, poetic condensation, every word seems to be exploding.

"Davis's novels exude a rare temperament. She breaks the logic of traditional short stories and also intercepts fragments of life. In Chekhov, Cheever, and Carver, people are highlighted and magnified. In Davis, the boundaries of the characters, scenery, dialogue, or daily events and objects in the novel are broken, and everything is blurred and obscure, like a landscape in a fog. You can only see its shape, but it gives birth to its meaning. "
