Break It Down: Stories by Lydia Davis

4.0

I finished this a while ago and never got around to reviewing it, so please excuse me for the short, less detailed review.

I did not love every story in this book, but each was a really lovely portrait into a very different kind of person.

I don't think that all of these pieces are long enough to even be considered short stories. I think some of them are more accurately described as micro-fiction, which is kind of lovely. Davis gives us tiny, intense doses of people.

Definitely worth reading.
