In this solo episode, Lydia shares a recent real-life “wobble” where old feelings of being “too much” came rushing back, even after doing so much healing work. Together, we unpack why this happens, how the nervous system stores survival responses, and why healing is not a straight line. You’ll also be guided through a simple 60-second grounding practice you can use anywhere, plus gentle prompts to help you meet yourself with more compassion when the spiral shows up.

Zwischen Satzzeichen und Schweigen – Lydia Davis und die Kunst des genauen Lesens

Diesmal hat die Kulturdisco literarischen Besuch: Lydia Davis ist da – also, zumindest in Buchform. „Unsere Fremden“ ist eine Sammlung so kurzer Geschichten, dass man fast blinzeln muss, um sie zu erwischen. Dafür bleibt genug Zeit, um sich zu fragen: Was macht eine gute Miniatur aus? Warum übersetzt Lydia Davis am liebsten selbst? Und wie klingt eigentlich Fremdheit, wenn man sie laut liest? Art und Tom haben sich dafür Verstärkung geholt: Suse, Germanistin, Literaturfan und Expertin im genauen Lesen. Zusammen wird diskutiert, gelacht, s...

Lydia Davis's "Our Strangers"
Kate Wolf speaks to author and translator Lydia Davis about her latest collection of stories, Our Strangers. The book, which is notably not available for sale on Amazon, includes well over 100 stories, with many measuring at just a few lines. The stories take a variety forms: sketches of interactions from daily life, letters of complaint, recorded anecdotes, sequential interludes, grammatical inquires, meditations on passing thoughts and fantasies, as well as more sustained looks at life in a small country town and the intimacies we share with neighbors. Davis returns to abiding themes of aging, friendship, illness, death, mutual care, melancholy...

Lydia Davis : Our Strangers
Today’s conversation with Lydia Davis about her latest story collection, Our Strangers, a collection of 143 stories, is a deep dive into storytelling. These stories, whether incredibly short or quite long, often eschew backstory, exposition, context, or psychological interiority. Sometimes they even comment on other stories within the collection, or revise themselves, becoming something else entirely. Regardless of their length or style, they often raise the questions “is this a story?” and “if it isn’t a story, what is it?” In that spirit, you could consider today’s conversation a deep dive into poetry (syntax and the poetics of the sentence...

She loves short, sparkling sentences. She loves that in English we have Anglo-Saxon words like "underground" or Latinate alternatives like "subterranean." She loves reading books in foreign languages, discovering not only their content but a different culture and a different history at the same time. Despite describing her creative process as "chaotic" and herself as "not ambitious," she is among America's best-known short story writers and a celebrated essayist. Lydia joined Tyler to...

A 'Ni quiero ni puedo', cuesta definirlo, porque tiene un poco de todo: anotaciones cotidianas, pensamientos, reflexiones, viajes en tren, vínculo de hermanos, cartas,etc. A un pensamiento que para algunos pasa desapercibido, ella se obsesiona y lo trabaja. Es muy fresco y singular. Que sea breve no significa que sea malo y ella es muy buena mostrando eso".
