Lydia Davis (born July 15, 1947) is an American writer noted for her short stories. Davis is also a novelist, essayist, and translator from French and other languages, and has produced several new translations of French literary classics, including Proust's ''Swann’s Way'' and Flaubert's ''Madame Bovary''. ==Early life and education== Davis was born in Northampton, Massachusetts, on July 15, 1947.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Internationales literaturfestival Berlin – Lydia Davis )〕 She is the daughter of Robert Gorham Davis, a critic and professor of English, and Hope Hale Davis, a short-story writer, teacher, and memoirist. Davis initially studied music—first piano, then violin—which was her first love. On becoming a writer, Davis has said, "I was probably always headed to being a writer, even though that wasn't my first love. I guess I must have always wanted to write in some part of me or I wouldn't have done it."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lydia Davis: Storytelling, a Strange Impulse )〕 She studied at Barnard College, where she mostly wrote poetry.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LYDIA DAVIS: Storytelling, a Strange Impulse )〕 In 1974 Davis married Paul Auster, with whom she had a son named Daniel.〔 Auster and Davis later divorced and Davis is now married to the artist Alan Cote,〔 with whom she has another son, Theo Cote. She is a professor of creative writing at the University at Albany, SUNY, and was a Lillian Vernon Distinguished Writer-in-Residence at New York University in 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Lydia Davis is Lillian Vernon Distinguished Writer-in-Residence )〕
