The O. Henry Prize Stories 2015 (The O. Henry Prize Collection)
The O. Henry Prize Stories 2015 gathers twenty of the best short stories of the year, selected from thousands published in literary magazines. The winning stories span the globe—from the glamorous Riviera to an Eastern European shtetl, from a Native American reservation to a tiny village in Thailand. But their characters are universally recognizable and utterly compelling, whether they are ex-pats in Africa, migrant workers crossing the Mexican border, Armenian immigrants on the rough streets of East Hollywood, or pioneers in nineteenth-century Idaho. Accompanying the stories are the editor’s introduction, essays from the eminent jurors on their favorite stories, observations from the winning writers on what inspired them, and an extensive resource list of magazines.  Finding Billy White Feather PERCIVAL EVERETT  The Seals LYDIA DAVIS  Kilifi Creek LIONEL SHRIVER  The Happiest Girl in the Whole USA MANUEL MUÑOZ  A Permanent Member of the Family RUSSELL BANKS  A Ride out of Phrao DINA NAYERI  Owl EMILY RUSKOVICH            The Upside-Down World BECKY HAGENSTON  The Way Things Are Going LYNN FREED  The History of Happiness BRENDA PEYNADO  The Kingsley Drive Chorus NAIRA KUZMICH  Word of Mouth EMMA TÖRZS  Cabins CHRISTOPHER MERKNER  My Grandmother Tells Me This Story MOLLY ANTOPOL  The Golden Rule LYNNE SHARON SCHWARTZ  About My Aunt JOAN SILBER  Ba Baboon THOMAS PIERCE  Snow Blind ELIZABETH STROUT  I, Buffalo VAUHINI VARA  Birdsong from the Radio ELIZABETH MCCRACKEN    Â
