Prize-Winning Stories [Corinne Manning]
We will read six prize-winning stories from 2014 and 2015 from the O’Henry, Pushcart, and Best American anthologies. We will explore and discover trends that we notice or are broken, along with all the aspects that make these stories grab our hearts (or not). Rather than seeking to imitate, we will use this as an exploration of our own tastes, and what we, as readers and writers, are being told is great writing.
