The O. Henry Prize Stories 2002 (Prize Stories: The O. Henry Awards)

by Larry Dark

The O. Henry Prize Stories 2002 (Prize Stories: The O. Henry Awards) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Established early in the last century as a memorial to the great American short story master O. Henry, throughout its history this annual collection has consistently offered a remarkable sampling of contemporary short stories. Each year, stories are chosen from large and small literary magazines, and a panel of distinguished writers is enlisted to make the final selection. The result is a superb collection of inventive, full-bodied stories representing the very best in American and Canadian fiction.

Review:

“Widely regarded as the nation’s most prestigious awards for short fiction.”The Atlantic Monthly

Review:

“There are things here to please everyone’s appetite.”The Austin Chronicle
