Awful! Nothing happened throughout 20 stories. Imagine listening to many distant aunts or a few effeminate uncles with deep grudges and endless "stream of consciousness" voices: shaggy dog stories with no purpose and too much info. This book has no sense of achievement, except the judges voted for another year of the women. A typical accomplishment in these stories is a female author describing how some guy talks compassionately with his son while his wife listens and *cleans!* One of the "stories" is really just an old lady describing details of three different houses she lived in. Of one she says, "I can't believe I lived there." Readers won't either. O. Henry told stories that were zippy and ironic, so it's sad when his award becomes a poetry prize for boring-character driven plots and social causes. One of the judges said, "In 12,000 words [the first chapter] manages to include all the large, small, secret, shameful, silly, gorgeous, and terrible parts of life." Is that what you want from a 40-page story? I prefer 10 pages with at least one memorable thing. This book helps you sympathize with those who want to clean the swamp and make things happen again. The 2010 edition I recently re-read was good. If I had time for literary experiences, I wouldn't want them in a short story anthology.
but not as many good vs bad stories as in some past years. I really didn't care for The Tomb of Wrestling which was selected by two of the jurors as their favorite. For me it was way too long and included much irrelevant side-information almost like the author were practicing for writing a novel.My favorite in this collection was Queen Elizabeth by Brad FelveralsoHow We Eat by Lara VapnyarAn Amount of Discretion by Lauren AlwanWhy Were They Throwing Bricks by Jenny ZhangNayla by Youmna ChlalaandCounterblast by Marjorie CelonWorth the Read as Always!
One of the finer collection of short stories I have read in some time. Recommended read. Interestingly sequenced. Exceptionally written.
Books arrived as promised. (Haven't read the stories yet!) I am in a Short Story Discussion club (like a book club, but we discuss one short story at a time.)
This series is new to me, but I will buy each new volume. Great stories that capture the imagination.
A wonderful collection of stories. Some are slower than the rest but all of them engage the reader. It seems they’re all centered around humans and how messy our lives really are. Few clean breaks can be found and stories rarely end where you think they will.
These O. Henry Prize story collections are great for discovering new writers; I often pick up books by the writers whose stories I particularly liked. It's always a worthwhile read, though with each year, my enjoyment varies depending on how my taste lines up with the jurors'.The only way I know to review and rate these collections is by the number of stories that left a strong impression on me. The 2018 edition had five stories that wowed me -- about on par with other editions -- and nearly all the stories were worthwhile.Some high points for me: Jo Ann Beard's “The Tomb of Wrestling,†a favorite of two of the jurors, in which a home invasion sparks recollections from a woman's past; Michael Parker's “Stop ‘n’ Go,†a brief but bracing piece that follows the frank reminiscences of a World War II vet; Mark Jude Poirier's “How We Eat†(perhaps the most memorable story for me) -- two siblings help their mother scrounge for money for lunch while trying to avoid her anger; Michael Powers' “More or Less Like a Man,†in which a man, hoping to avoid a conversation with a stranger on an airplane, becomes drawn to her story; Jo Lloyd's “The Earth, Thy Great Exchequer, Ready Lies,†an evocative story of empire building that takes an unexpected turn.One caveat: Three stories, though well-written and engaging, were from the "Life is Miserable" school of fiction writing. As I get older, I appreciate these types of stories less and less.I liked that only two of the stories are from the New Yorker. Other collections of prize-winning stories have had as many as a quarter of the stories from the NYer, so if you are a subscriber, you've already read 1/4 of the book.
This collection is guaranteed to be good, and I was thrilled when I received a review copy, thanks to Net Galley and Doubleday. Those that enjoy strong fiction should buy it and read it, even if you have to pay full jacket price. This year’s edition holds 20 prize winning stories along with a bit of judging commentary at the end. This book is now for sale.The first story in any short story collection is bound to be good, and so I knew that Joanne Beard’s Tin House would be strong, and it is, in a dark, surreal way. I wouldn’t read it at bedtime lest it enter my dreams, but it’s memorable, original, and gritty. I also enjoy Brad Felver’s Queen Elizabeth, and Past Perfect Continuous, by Dounia Choukri. My favorite of all of them, the one that made me laugh out loud, is Why Were They Throwing Bricks, by Jenny Zhang, a story that features a cagey, manipulative Chinese grandmother and the grandchildren whose lives she enters, leaves and reenters. Zhang appears to have mostly published poetry up to this point, but I hope she writes more fiction, because I want to read it.The only aspect of any short story that I don’t enjoy is the open-ended sort that conclude with no real resolution. This screamingly frustrating inclination is minimal here, showing at the ends of a just a couple of the featured stories.Short stories are terrific to leave, once you’ve finished them, in your guest room, because people that stay with you briefly can read a story or more without the frustration of having to either leave an incomplete novel behind or beg to borrow it, not knowing when they can return it. If you need an excuse to get this excellent collection for yourself, there it is.Highly recommended.
