The Drue Heinz Literature Prize was established in 1980 to
encourage and support the writing and reading of short fiction.
Over the past twenty years judges such as Robert Penn Warren,
Raymond Carver, Joyce Carol Oates, Margaret Atwood, Russell Banks,
Alice McDermott, and Frank Conroy have selected the best
collections from the hundreds submitted annually by up-and-coming
writers. 20 represents the best of the best-one story from each of
the prize-winning volumes. Chosen by acclaimed author John Edgar
Wideman, the selections cover a broad range of inventive and
original characters, settings, and emotions, charting the evolution
of the short story over the past two decades. One of the most
prestigious awards of its kind, the Drue Heinz Literature Prize has
helped launch the careers of a score of previously "undiscovered"
writers, many of whom have gone on to great critical success. Past
