What does not vary throughout Can't & Won't, Lydia Davis's fifth collection of stories, is the power of her finely honed prose. Davis is sharply observant; she is wry or witty or poignant. With bracing candor and sly humor, Davis examines the quotidian and reveals all that is mysterious, foreign, alienating, and pleasurable within the predictable patterns of daily life.
