It is a very small sound to come from such a large, dark animal. She moos in a high falsetto before the note descends abruptly, or she moos in a falsetto that does not descend. *** She moos toward the wooded hills behind her, and the sound comes back. Forms of play: head butting mounting, either at the back or at the front trotting away by yourself trotting together going off bucking and prancing by yourself resting your head and chest on the ground until they notice and trot toward you circling each other taking the position for head-butting and then not doing it. It could be compared to some sections of Wallace Stevens’ “Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird” or to Claude Monet’s paintings of Rouen Cathedral. The piece, written with understated humor and empathy, is a series of detailed observations of the cows on different days and in different positions, moods, and times of the day. The Cows is a close study of the three much-loved cows that live across the road from her. Few writers map the process of thought as well as she, few perceive with such charged intelligence. Her recent publications include Can’t and Won’t (Farrar, Straus & Giroux in 2014), The Collected Stories of Lydia Davis (Hamish Hamilton, 2010), a chapbook entitled The Cows (Sarabande Press, 2010), and a new translation of Gustave Flaubert’s Madame Bovary (Viking Penguin, 2011). Indeed, Lydia Davis is mathematician, philosopher, sculptor, jeweler, and scholar of the minute.
