First Sentence
The last time I saw him, though I did not know it would be the last, I was sitting on the terrace with a friend and he came through the gate sweating, his face and chest pink, his hair damp, and stopped politely to talk to us. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars a triumph of tone, beautifully written, totally modern, 22 Oct 1998
By A Customer
Lydia Davis's novel portrays the failings of a literary mind lost in the maze of its own thought-processes. The startling beauty of the prose, with its immense, architectural paragraphs, its interminable sub-clauses and endless returns upon itself, acts out its own paralysis. The reader witnesses, undisturbed by author, the disintegration of self. This is prose as formal as a fugue, as pointless as a madrigal. It is modern writing that is challenging and uncompromising. Don't be fooled by those who say it's about a woman's failed love affair with an unsuitable man. This is much darker than that.
