Description

A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023: FICTION 'A trailblazer in the world of short-form prose' New YorkerLydia 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.
