Our Strangers

Our Strangers

A new collection of short fiction from the critically acclaimed master of the form and winner of the Man Booker International Prize , Lydia Davis



A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023: FICTION

'A trailblazer in the world of short-form prose' New Yorker

Lydia 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.
