I was disappointed that Lydia Davis wasn’t able to make it to Wellesley to kick off the Distinguished Writers Series Spring 2011 program on February 1. However, I think she definitely made the right decision to postpone her trip, as we had a major snowstorm that day.
Word is that she has rescheduled her visit to Wellesley! She will open the Fall 2011 Distinguished Writers Series this coming September
I love the irreverence of her work; I never know if she is pulling the wool over my eyes, or I just witnessed something really, really profound (guess we’ll find out in September).
At the Edinborough International Book Festival, Lydia Davis read five short stories in two minutes. Her reading at Wellesley will be longer.

Cant wait till September and see what she comes up with.
