โฆ Synopsis
Overview: Lydia Davis, acclaimed fiction writer and translator, is famous in literary circles for her extremely brief and brilliantly inventive short stories. In fall 2003 she received one of 25 MacArthur Foundation โGeniusโ awards. In granting the award the MacArthur Foundation praised Davisโs work for showing โhow language itself can entertain, how all that what one word says, and leaves unsaid, can hold a readerโs interest. . . . Davis grants readers a glimpse of lifeโs previously invisible details, revealing new sources of philosophical insights and beauty.โ In 2013 She was the winner of the Man Booker International prize.
