The O. Henry Prize Stories 2007: The Best Stories of the Year

The O. Henry Prize Stories 2007: The Best Stories of the Year
- Collection of the Best Stories, The O. Henry Prize, Year 2007
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 naâ‚¬ve, 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.
