Summary: 'Remarkable. Some of the most moving fiction - on death, marriage, children - of recent years.

A writer of vast intelligence and originality' Independent on Sunday Find out why fellow authors like Ali Smith, Dave Eggers and Jonathan Franzen love Lydia Davis's writing so much in this landmark collection of all of her stories to date from across three decades.
