I Hear Youre Rich: stories
English
By (author): Diane Williams
The writer who saved my life or my soul. Merve Emre, The New Yorker
A true living hero of the American avant-garde. Jonathan Franzen
One of the very few contemporary prose writers who seem to be doing something independent, energetic, heartfelt. Lydia Davis
A new collection of stories from the godmother of flash fiction (The Paris Review).
In Williams stories, life is newly alive and dangerous; whether she is writing about an affair, a request for money, an afternoon in a garden, or the simple act of carrying a cake from one room to the next, she offers us beautiful and unsettling new ways of seeing everyday life.
In perfectly honed sentences, with a sly and occasionally wild wit, Williams shows us how any moment of any day can open onto disappointment, pleasure, and possibility.
