The Collected Stories of Lydia Davis - Problem
/ = is in a relationship with
$ = gets money from
X ($Z)(female) / Y (male)
W ($Y+$V)(female) + child (V) / U (male, no support to W's child) - Lives in NY
V (male) - Wants to move to Chicago but child lives in NY
T ($U)(female) + child (U) - Lives in NY
- Who is Z and where is their money coming from?
- I wonder if Y sharing a letter with the male chromosome is a coincidence?
The use of letters in place of names made this very difficult for me to process exactly what is happening; everything became jumbled in my mind. Now that I think about it, it probably would have been the same with or without names.
If you have no idea what story this relates to, get the book; the stories are wonderfully concise.
