Rated Varieties of Disturbance 8/10

Lydia Davis’ short stories are brief and strange - all the more strange because they’re about extremely mundane subjects, like parenthood, aging, communication between romantic partners. She approaches all of these subjects like an alien naturalist explaining them as though they’re profound and haunting. I didn’t love this book as much as her others but it’s still compelling.
