Review of 'The collected stories of Lydia Davis.' on 'Storygraph'

A very pleasant read. I enjoyed the fact the there are four books in this book, written in different decades. You see the writer growing older, and see the subjects change; much more relaxed over time. The eighties were hard, the ninetees were starting to get a little bit easier, and the zeroes seemed to be fine.
This book added 86 new entries to my literary clock database. Copying these sentences letter by letter really showed my how detailed her writing is.
