More Description The O. Henry Prize Stories 2018 contains twenty prize-winning stories chosen from thousands published in literary magazines over the previous year. The winning stories evoke lives both near and distant, in settings ranging from Afghanistan and Paraguay to Japan and Ireland, and feature an engaging array of characters, including a tale-spinning Chinese grandmother, disaffected teenagers, a deaf and blind man, an atomic test victim, and a medium who bears witness for the wronged dead.
