With an introduction by well-respected art critic, broadcaster, journalist, and television presenter Mariella Frostrup, this collection provides American readers with the opportunity to acquaint themselves with some of the most distinguished writers of short fiction from Britain. The five nominees for the award will be named on September 20 and the winner picked on October 8. Previous winners include Miroslav Penkov, D. W. Wilson, David Constantine, and Kate Clanchy.
