My first piece read by Lydia Davis and it inspired me to buy more of her work. I wished for more from the story though, although I suppose that was the intention.

The End of the Story A Novel Lydia Davis 9780312423711 Books Reviews

Unique story telling. Creative, provocative approach. Ultimately fades.
This is a novel you may want to throw out the window, OR you may not be able to put it down ... It takes you someplace you'll probably never want to go again.
Inventive novel blending the process of how to tell a story with the heartbreak of the actual story. Answers the question about how one fixes memory.
Great book!
Captivating by a writer who has a style all her own...absorbing and amusing look at a woman obsessed by a long ago lover.
The style is somewhat like the 'Unconsoled' - stream of consciousness - it was very interesting reading and is actually a page turner.
I read this book feverishly, almost as it felt it had been written. Many of the incidents had been in Davis' short stories which I love and feel very similar to my own experience. The sense of meaningless ecstasy, embarrassing pain, and self aware recovery were all perfectly described. I was interested in her reflections on writing and memory, work, and friendships. My only reservation was that it seemed a bit too literary at times, but this is hardly a fair criticism of a book about writing.
