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 & pinning them for inspection.
In Our Strangers, conversations are overheard & misheard, a special delivery letter is mistaken for a rare white butterfly, toddlers learning to speak identify a ping-pong ball as an egg & mumbled remarks betray a marriage. In the glow of Davis's keen noticing, strangers can become like family & family like strangers.
Our Strangers is a fascinating collection that confirms the genius of a writer whose every attention is transformative.
