'A trailblazer in the world of short-form prose' New Yorker Lydia
Davis is a virtuoso at detecting the seemingly casual,
inconsequential surprises of daily life and pinning them for
inspection. In Our Strangers, conversations are overheard and
misheard, a special delivery letter is mistaken for a rare white
butterfly, toddlers learning to speak identify a ping-pong ball as
an egg and mumbled remarks betray a marriage. In the glow of
Davis's keen noticing, strangers can become like family and family
like strangers. Our Strangers is a fascinating collection that
confirms the genius of a writer whose every attention is
transformative.
