Praise for The Story Prize "You don't often get collections, or even anthologies where every story knocks you out, but I've been bewildered in the best way over each one [in The Story Prize ] so far." -- Lillian Li, author of Number One Chinese Restaurant "Skillful distillations . . . A pleasure for students of the genre." -- Kirkus Reviews, Praise for The Story Prize "You don't often get collections, or even anthologies where every story knocks you out, but I've been bewildered in the best way over each one [in The Story Prize ] so far." -- Lillian Li, author of Number One Chinese Restaurant "Skillful distillations . . . A pleasure for students of the genre." -- Kirkus Reviews "A beautiful celebration of works from the famous and celebrated . . . to newer voices . . . Absorbing and contextualizing the strength of these stories takes time and effort and will reap great rewards." -- Christopher John Stephens, PopMatters, Advance Praise for The Story Prize "The Story Prize--which recognizes the best story collection to be published each year--has quickly established itself as a nifty jewel in a writer's crown."-- The New York Times "Skillful distillations . . .

Synopsis
This anthology of short stories marks the fifteenth anniversary of The Story Prize and includes one story from each of the annual winning collections, beginning with Edwidge Danticat's The Dew Breaker and concluding with Elizabeth Strout's Anything Is Possible, "You don't often get collections, or even anthologies where every story knocks you out, but I've been bewildered in the best way over each one [in The Story Prize ] so far." --Lillian Li, author of Number One Chinese Restaurant This anthology of short stories marks the fifteenth anniversary of The Story Prize and includes one story from each of the annual winning collections, beginning with Edwidge Danticat's The Dew Breaker and concluding with Elizabeth Strout's Anything Is Possible . The founder of The Story Prize, Julie Lindsey, and its director, Larry Dark, created this award to address the lack of one specifically for collections of stories. Together they choose three finalists from the previous year's publications, which are sent to three judges--an author, a bookseller or librarian, and a critic or editor--who, independently of one another, relay their choices. The prize is then presented at an annual celebration in New York, where the finalists read from their books and then discuss their work with Dark. Excerpts from these interviews--or, in a few cases, the judges' citations--introduce each story in the book. The authors chose the stories included to read at the annual Story Prize event., "You don't often get collections, or even anthologies where every story knocks you out, but I've been bewildered in the best way over each one in The Story Prize ] so far." --Lillian Li, author of Number One Chinese Restaurant This anthology of short stories marks the fifteenth anniversary of The Story Prize and includes one story from each of the annual winning collections, beginning with Edwidge Danticat's The Dew Breaker and concluding with Elizabeth Strout's Anything Is Possible .

- 8***5 (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.Pogo 3 : Evidence to the Contrary: The Complete Syndicated Comic Strips, Hard...
