A Perfect Book For Every Person on Your Holiday Shopping List

Lydia Davis is one of the best writers of flash fiction (also known as microfiction) today. Her stories are armed with a sharp sense of humor, and, best of all, many of them are short enough to read between subway stops. Her new book, Can't and Won't, is full of tiny revelations that the superbusy — but supersmart — bookworm in your life will actually have time to read now and reflect on later.
