{"product_id":"16712-lydia-davis","title":"Lydia Davis","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn her short stories, the writer Lydia Davis explores everyday phenomena. In her prose text \"Two Former Students\", studying at a university or academy is equated with education through life. From the narrator's perspective, a young and an older man are described, walking \"up and down under a streetlamp\" at night. The younger man has been to Europe, and the older man is a war veteran, deaf in one ear. A female person watches them from the window. Both expect to be seen by this woman, and the older gentleman orders the younger gentleman to leave and go \"out into the snowy night.\" He fears the lady might label them jointly as \"former students.\" Towards the end, the narrator's voice clarifies that the woman actually imagines both men to be two former students, instead of each of them being entirely himself.\u003cbr\u003eLydia Davis (born 1947) is a writer and translator; she lives near Albany, New York.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-2927-7)","offer_id":44503954161928,"sku":"9783775729277","price":4.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ebook - PDF (978-3-7757-4999-2)","offer_id":44573666935048,"sku":"9783775749992","price":1.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebook - EPUB (978-3-7757-3107-2)","offer_id":44573666967816,"sku":"9783775731072","price":1.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775729277_99b39045-95fa-453c-b38d-635ae6d4c3bc.jpg?v=1744112605","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16712-lydia-davis","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
