A review by quadruploni
Varieties of Disturbance by Lydia Davis

3.0

I had a good feeling about this book. I liked what I read in the bookstore. Some of the "stories" are indeed clever and insightful and wonderfully observed, but at least half is laborious and even deadly boring and feels like a misplaced diary entry or sketch. It works now and then, but on balance I feel like she's getting away with something...
