Prize Stories: The Best of 1997: The O. Henry Awards Paperback - 1997
by Larry Dark (Editor)
This year's O. Henry Award winners, while continuing the rich traditions of the past, have been chosen from more than 2,000 stories published in America and Canada--a superb assemblage of varied, full-bodied fictional creations, selected by the 1997 trio of jurors: Louise Erdrich, Thom Jones, and David Foster Wallace.
From the jacket flap
Established in 1918 as a memorial to O. Henry, this annual literary tradition has presented a remarkable offering of stories over its 76-year history. O. Henry first-prize winners have included Dorothy Parker, William Faulkner, Truman Capote, John Cheever, John Updike, and Cynthia Ozick as well as some lesser know writers such as Alison Baker and Cornelia Nixon. Many talented writers who were unknown when first chosen for an O. Henry Award later went on to become seminal voices of contemporary American fiction. Representative of the very best in contemporary American fiction, these are varied, full-bodied fictional creations brimming with life--proof of the continuing strength and variety of the American short story.
