I had never heard of Lydia Davis. One day while internet surfing I landed on a podcast of the wonderful author James Salter reading a short story by Davis titled "Break It Down." I loved the story of an intimate, sensual, loving relationship between two people who only met occasionally to be with one another. Lydia Davis has a talent for being able to describe warm skin, a dark room, the sound of coffee cups being placed on a saucer or the essence of a woman's fragrance on a shirt, that is unforgettable. Her stories are short and stimulate thought. I bought the "Break It Down" book. Enjoyed all the stories in it and have recommended it to friends. She is a wonderful writer.
