Everything you need to understand or teach The Collected Stories of Lydia Davis by Lydia Davis.
Firmly rooted in the tradition of experimental short fiction, The Collected Stories of Lydia Davis gathers four volumes of her minimalist, fragmented narratives: Break it Down (1986), Almost No Memory (1997), Samuel Johnson is Indignant (2001), and Varieties of Disturbance (2007). Told through shifting points of view—first-person, third-person, and impersonal observational voices—the collection resists conventional plot, instead presenting brief vignettes and longer stories that capture memory lapses, strained domestic lives, academic absurdities, and failures of communication.
