GLENN GOULD by Lydia Davis


The writer reveals how the protagonist leads her life: she likes to watch "Mary Tyer Moore Show," which both her friend, Mitich, and a musician Glenn Gould happen to like. She loves to enter another city in the show. She wants to “watch another half hour, and another and another” probably to escaping from the reality, where she and her husband have nothing particular to talk about together.

The story has given me a new perspective in writing fictions. This story does not have a plot but gives the reader the same feelings he or she gets after reading a good short story. It is a surprising discovery that a good fiction does not necessarily need a plot.
