    Lydia Davis reads three short stories of 100 words or less that showcase her skill in flash fiction. The first story is about a hand that keeps trying to add an extra 'e' to the spelling of acknowledgment in the British style while the other hand deletes it, suggesting one hand was brought up in England. The second story describes a woman who was drunk while cooking and burned the food but a man who was drunk eating did not notice. The third story overhears two old ladies on a train where one says everything gets worse but the other asks if anything gets better.

    Day 2 Lydia Davis - Flash Fiction

    Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-mB6wdlq5s

    Lydia Davis reading three of her own stories.

    1. England
    My left hand keeps trying to type another ‘e’ into the word
    acknowledgment – the British spelling. While my right hand keeps
    deleting it.
    Maybe my left hand grew up in England.

    2. Two drunks at dinner time


    She was drunk when she cooked dinner and burned everything.
    He was drunk when he ate it and didn’t care.

    3. Overheard on the train


    Says one old lady to another - everything gets worse.
    Does anything get better?
