LYDIA DAVIS AT THE END OF THE WORLD

Googly eyes. There, I said it.
El Bolsillo Grande kindly shared this splendid link with yours truly this afternoon. It's an interview with Lydia Davis, whom I have not had the pleasure of reading, speaking to or exactly knowing anything about before I read same link. I very much liked her take on learning languages. Sounds like she's trying to dissect Norwegian from the inside out solely by going through a single book.

Interesting concept at least. Bit different method from my own, but in the same spirit, je crois.

Not quite as taken by her talk about fiction/writing, buy hey, ain't nobody perfect but me and monkey.

A quick skim of her oeuvre's got me curious. May put her on the short list.
