The Best Short Stories 2021: The O. Henry Prize Winners (The O. Henry Prize Collection)

Very similar writing styles

So nice to read really good writing. These stories are often powerful, engaging and entertaining.

Great collection of diverse stories. Just one I couldn't finish. Thank you, Chimamanda and Jenny!

Such a great read. The stories were all their own flavor but each main character had a voice that made you care about the story. I loved it.

Came quickly and in good shape. Excellent collection of stories. HIGHLY recommend.

Always the perfect travel/vacation companion.

I have a strong love for short stories and subscribed to The New Yorker for them and got the O'Henry annual books, as well as the Best American Short Stories each year. I usually preferred the O'Henry selections, but at this point, I hated this years collection so much I don't know if I'll ever have the interest to read them again. One of the stories actually made me feel physically ill! These selections are most likely picked for the interest of other writers and not readers-which are two very different categories.

Great assortment of short stories, familiar and new writers.

a powerful and illuminating collection of short stories with some unmissable gems. i was engrossed and enjoyed reading every single story. the intro by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is insightful too.
