Lydia Davis returns with a timeless collection of essays on
literature and language. 'Precise, concentrated, lyrical. No one
writes like Lydia Davis, and everyone should read her' Hanif
Kureishi 'A writer as mighty as Kafka, as subtle as Flaubert, and
as epoch-making, in her own way, as Proust' Ali Smith Lydia Davis
gathered a selection of her non-fiction writing for the first time
in 2019 with Essays. Now, she continues the project with Essays
Two, focusing on the art of translation, the learning of foreign
languages through reading, and her experience of translating,
amongst others, Flaubert and Proust, about whom she writes with an
unmatched understanding of the nuances of their styles. Every essay
in this book is a revelation.
