All I Can Truly Deliver marks the arrival of an important new talent to the festival called exploratory fiction. -- Lance Olsen There is the world and then there is the world.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - These eleven stories--E. R. Catalano's winning story, 'News from My Father,' and ten ?nalists--show the range possible in the contemporary literary short story and offer a snapshot of some of the best writing by established and emerging literary talents. From a pool of over six hundred stories, some published in very well-known journals, and many unpublished, our panel of readers selected these ten finalists, the best of the best, in 2004. E.R. Catalano's winning story, 'News from My Father,' was chosen from these finalists by our 2004 judge, Robert Olen Butler himself, who has this to say about the story: ''News from My Father' is a clear winner.

Catalano, Ariana-Sophia Kartsonis, Roy Kesey, Glorida DeVidas Kirchheimer, Karen Kovacik, Dylan Landis, Kelly Magee, Lynn Veach Sadler, Marianne Taylor, and Charles Yu.…
