          A brand new collection of short fiction from Lydia Davis, 'a trailblazer in the world of short-form prose' New Yorker

          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.
