Скачать или смотреть Lydia Davis at the NYS Writers Institute in 2013

Lydia Davis, "an American virtuoso of the short story form" (Salon), NYS Writers Institute Writing Fellow, and UAlbany English Department faculty member, received the 2013 Man Booker International Prize. The award is given every two years to authors of any nationality to recognize an outstanding body of work in English or English translation. Awarded to a handful of the world's leading writers, the prize is regarded by many as "an ever more competent alternative to the Nobel" (The Guardian). Davis is the author of five short story collections including, most recently, The Collected Stories (2009). A Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres in France, Davis is a leading translator into English of French literary fiction by Proust and Flaubert.
