"This collwction, my first introduction to Lydia Davis, took me a minute to appreciate. Who is this writer, I found myself asking after the first few stories, so abrupt, so miniscule? I kept reading and learned more of her reputation. They are nuggets, compressed storytelling in 100 words, or longer pieces. My favorite is The Left Hand, a gem of writing and upon second and third teading, I found so much to savor: how she constructs a story, her images, her words. Stay for the joy in this collection, and it is published through Bookshop.org only and available in independent bookstores. Take that, Amazon!" - Goodreads Reviewers

A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR: 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.
