    Udderly charming
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 5, 2016*

A disclaimer of sorts:  As a boy I spent several weeks each summer on farms that had dairy cows or steers.  That experience, coupled with a dash of nostalgia, may make me more susceptible than some to the charms of this spare book by Lydia Davis.Across the road from her house in rural upstate New York is the home pasture of three cows.  They are black, black cows with white markings on their faces.  (I think they are Black Baldies.)  THE COWS contains Davis's careful observations of those three cows over a year's time, together with about two dozen black-and-white photographs.  It is a pastoral book, closely observed and empathetically rendered.  It also is humorous, in a loving, understated way.Here are several excerpts:"Each new day, when they come out from the far side of the barn, it is like the next act, or the start of an entirely new play.They amble out from the far side of the barn with their rhythmic, graceful walk, and it is an occasion, like the start of a parade. * * *They come out from behind the barn as though something is going to happen, and then nothing happens. * * *Today, they are positioned exactly one behind the next in a line, head to tail, head to tail, as though coupled like the cars of a railway train, the first looking straight forward like the headlight of the locomotive."

I already previously read The Cows in a short story book I had from Lydia Davis but I really like this story a lot. I like how this smaller book has added pictures and it's just a nice addition to my short story copies that I have. I don't think Lydia Davis is really for everyone but I am a big fan.

    Cows:  so delightful and peaceful
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 21, 2019*

I love this little book.  The writer is an author I have before and liked.  It is such a simple book with pictures of cows being cows, and the author's writing is the same.  I have gifted this book to others many times and I still reread my copy once in a while.  Cows, being cows, delightful and peaceful.
