Series: The O. Henry Prize Collection

An arresting collection of contemporary fiction at its best, these stories explore

a vast range of subjects, from love and deception to war and the insidious power

of class distinctions.

However clearly spoken, in voices sophisticated, cunning,

or naive, here is fiction that consistently defies our expectations. Selected from

thousands of stories in hundreds of literary magazines, the twenty prize-winning

stories are accompanied by essays from each of the three eminent jurors on which

stories they judged the best, and observations from all twenty prizewinners on what

inspired them. ""The Room"" William Trevor ""The Scent of Cinnamon"" Charles Lambert ""Cherubs"" Justine Dymond ""Galveston Bay, 1826"" Eddie Chuculate ""The Gift of Years"" Vu Tran ""The Diarist"" Richard McCann ""War Buddies"" Joan Silber ""Djamilla"" Tony

D'Souza ""In a Bear's Eye"" Yannick Murphy ""Summer, with Twins"" Rebecca Curtis ""Mudder

Tongue"" Brian Evenson ""Companion"" Sana Krasikov ""A Stone House"" Bay Anapol ""The

Company of Men"" Jan Ellison ""City Visit"" Adam Haslett ""The Duchess of Albany"" Christine

Schutt ""A New Kind of Gravity"" Andrew Foster Altschul ""Gringos"" Ariel Dorfman ""El Ojo de Agua"" Susan Straight
