Almost No Memory: Stories by Lydia Davis
3.0
Purposeful, thoughtful, beautiful, but missing the oomph for me.
I felt the shorter stories more than the longer, especially the objectively-phrased stories about relationships. I found myself skipping over some of the longers, waiting for their purpose or some kind of feeling. I love short stories because of the opportunity to jump into many puddles of an author's ideas, but I felt detached from many of these.
