    About this ebook

    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 top prizes. The result is a superb collection of seventeen inventive, full-bodied stories representing the very best in American and Canadian fiction. And in celebration of this distinguished literary form, Prize Stories 2001 a Special Award for Continuing Achievement is presented to Alice Munro.

      I am a compulsive reader of short stories, thus I compulsively read collections of short stories, no matter the year. My favorites in this volume were "Servants of The Map" by Andrea Barrett, an astonishing writer, and "The Smoker" by David Schickler, whose short stories I have read and liked. The winning story, "The Deep," by Mary Swan was extremely well written, though I found it rather morose and calculated in that self-conscious MFA-style way that can be troubling sometimes. Very well done, however.
