Lydia Davis (Get this book) With her fifth collection, Davis continues to hone her subtle and distinctive brand of storytelling. These poems, vignettes, thoughts, observations, and stories defy clear categorization; each one is an independent whole, but read together they strike a fine rhythm. Davis circles the same central point in each entry: her characters examine the world with a detached, self-contained logic that seems to represent the process of writing itself. Davis's bulletproof prose sends each story shooting off the page.--Publisher's Weekly
