Can't and Won't è la nuova raccolta di Lydia Davis, una delle più grandi scrittrici di racconti viventi. VINCITRICE DEL MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE 2013 Lydia Davis è stata universalmente acclamata per l'arguzia, l'intuizione e l'inventiva formale che sfida i generi dei suoi racconti scintillanti. Con titoli come "A Story of Stolen Salamis", "Letters to a Frozen Pea Manufacturer", "A Small Story About a Small Box of Chocolates" e "Can't and Won't", i racconti di questa nuova raccolta illuminano momenti particolari di vite ordinarie e vi trovano l'umorismo, l'ironia e la sorpresa. Soprattutto, i racconti si dilettano e si confrontano con le gioie e i vincoli del linguaggio, raggiungendo sempre la straordinaria e ineguagliabile precisione che rende Lydia Davis una delle più grandi scrittrici contemporanee sulla scena internazionale.
