Break It Down by Lydia Davis
3.0
I was expecting so much. After all, it is Lydia Davis. Lydia Davis, I knew, was important, big, canonical.
But Break It Down was boring. Simple. Where's the catch? What emotion am I supposed to feel? Give me something!
Although, I must admit, these stories did light up something in me:
The House Plans
Sketches for a Life of Wassily
City Employment
What an Old Woman Will Wear
For these, I give 3 stars. For these, I will come back to you, Lydia Davis.
