As we announced at last year's Story Prize event at the New School, Catapult Books is publishing a fifteenth-anniversary anthology that will be out in March 2019, just in time for the event at which our fifteenth group of finalists will read and we'll announce our fifteenth winner.
The book includes the stories that each of the first fourteen winners of The Story Prize read from at our event, introduced by quotes from their on-stage interviews, excerpts from their TSP blog posts, or judges' citations.
Here's the list of stories:
Edwidge Danticat, “The Book of Miracles” from The Dew Breaker
Patrick O’Keeffe, “The Postman’s Cottage” from The Hill Road
Mary Gordon, “My Podiatrist Tells Me a Story About a Boy and a Dog” from The Stories of Mary Gordon
Jim Shepard, “The Zero Meter Diving Team” from Like You’d Understand, Anyway
Tobias Wolff, “Bullet in the Brain” from Our Story Begins
