Davis writes sharp, pungent, chiseled, sometimes funny, sometimes wrenchingly painful stories. She is a highly regarded translator of French to English ("Swann's Way," among many others) and her absolute control of language is equally evident in her translations and her fiction. "Break It Down" is where I started and it immediately made me a fierce Lydia Davis partisan. She is like no other writer.
