The Best Short Stories 2022: The O. Henry Prize Winners by Jenny Minton Quigley, Valeria Luiselli

5.0

One of the best volumes in recent years. I'm especially thrilled with the inclusion of so many excellent writers from other countries whose work appeared last year in English translation. American-born writers could learn a thing or two from their international compatriots. I also like the spirit of freshness and originality, especially in the anthology's longest (50 pages) and best story, Vladimir Sorokin's "Horse Soup." But plenty of other stories come close to Sorokin's fantastic inventiveness. Even the more realistic fiction is first-rate.
