The O. Henry Prize Stories; The Best Stories of The Year 2008 Book

The O. Henry Prize Stories: The Best Stories of the Year 2008 There is black smudge on the front cover but otherwise, the book is in excellent condition. An annual collection of the 20 best contemporary short stories selected by series editor Laura Furman from hundreds of literary magazines, The O. Henry Prize Stories 2008 is studded with extraordinary settings and characters: a teenager in survivalist Alaska, the seed keeper of a doomed Chinese village, a young woman trying to save her life in a Ukrainian internet café. Also included are the winning writers’ comments on what inspired them, a short essay from each of the three eminent jurors, and an extensive resource list of literary magazines. #anthology, collection, Alice Munroe
