Our Strangers | 
pickLydia Davis is lauded as a US treasure and a master of short stories, but I think she is an author who inspires either adoration or rage - I can‘t see there is any middle ground. Her short stories are *short* - indeed sometimes they are only 2 lines. Can these still be called short stories? However she is a master at calling attention to the unnoticed moments in life. These don‘t seem to linger in the memory but were enjoyable nibbles of prose.
