Can''t and Won''t is the new collection from Lydia Davis, one of the greatest short story writers alive.
WINNER OF THE MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE 2013
Lydia Davis has been universally acclaimed for the wit, insight and genre-defying formal inventiveness of her sparkling stories.
With titles like ''A Story of Stolen Salamis'', ''Letters to a Frozen Pea Manufacturer'', ''A Small Story About a Small Box of Chocolates'', and ''Can''t and Won''t'', the stories in this new collection illuminate particular moments in ordinary lives and find in them the humorous, the ironic and the surprising.
Above all the stories revel in and grapple with the joys and constraints of language - achieving always the extraordinary, unmatched precision which makes Lydia Davis one of the greatest contemporary writers on the international stage.
Praise for Lydia Davis:
''What stories. Precise and piercing, extremely funny. Nearly all are unlike anything you''ve ever read'' Metro
''To read The Collected Stories of Lydia Davis is to be reminded of the grand, echoing mind-chambers created by Sebald or recent Coetzee. A writer of vast intelligence and originality'' Independent on Sunday
''Among my most favourite writers. Read her now!'' A. M. Homes
