The 80th anniversary edition of ""the nation's most prestigious awards for the short story.""--The Atlantic Monthly

Established early in the last century as a memorial to 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 award the top prizes. The result is a superb collection of twenty inventive, full-bodied stories representing the very best in American and Canadian fiction.

Reviews for Prize Stories 2000: The O. Henry Awards

High praise for Prize Stories 1999 <br><br> Prize Stories is eerier, broodier, chancier, and ultimately more alive to the genre's exhilarating unpredictability [than The Best American Short Stories]. -- Entertainment Weekly <br><br> Interesting and unconventional. -- Seattle Post-Intelligencer
