I’m reading Samuel Johnson is Indignant by Lydia Davis right now as well. I believe this book (her stories in general, perhaps) owes a debt to Baudelaire’s Paris Spleen. Maybe that’s obvious. Baudelaire was one of the first prose poem writers and Davis’s stories are as much prose poems as they are very short stories. Anyway, both books are fantastic! Both recommended.
