American short story writer LydiaDavis won the fifth Man Booker International Prize for fictionon Wednesday for a body of work that includes some of thebriefest tales ever published.
"Her writings fling their lithe arms wide to
embrace many a kind. Just how to categorise them? They have been called stories
but could equally be miniatures, anecdotes, essays, jokes, parables, fables,texts, aphorisms or even apophthegms, prayers or simply observations."
Personally, I feel very inspired because as a writer I love brevity and hate being categorised.
