We enjoy your peas and do not want your business to suffer. Ou are falsely representing your peas as less attractive than they actually are. For example, in the Letter to a Frozen Peas Manufacturer, the writer complains about the packaging of the peas: There’s a wonderful series of short stories in the form of a letter. Each letter springs forth from an insane premise. Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, let me talk about what I liked.
It’s just not a short story to my narrow way of thinking. She thinks, for a moment, that Alabama is a city in Georgia: it is called Alabama, Georgia. Here’s Her Geography: Alabama in its entirety: Some of the short shorts sounded like gags to me, as in Her Geography series. That’s not to say I loved everything in Lydia Davis’s short story collection, Can’t and Won’t. Her stories are so compact, I worry that they’ll implode, opening up black holes as I read in bed. Lydia Davis is the master of the blank line: the interstitial spaces between word and thought.
