Sunday, November 05, 2006 -  The Pleasures of Lydia Davis


Lydia Davis, author of "Almost No Memory," "Samuel Johnson is Indignant," and "The End of the Story," visited the UMass campus last Thursday night, reading a few of her notorious witty stories to a crowd of about 80-100 academics, hipsters, professors, and literary junkies. The event was clearly appreciated by all who attended, especially after the free booze was dispensed at the end of the reading. Davis, who was born in Northampton, quipped and waxed humerous of personal notes to the readings, which further charmed the enthusiastic audience. It was a great show. Thanks to UMass for putting together such a great, free event.
