A review by jmcphers
PEN/O. Henry Prize Stories 2011: The Best Stories of the Year by Laura Furman

Did not finish book.
These stories appear to have been selected for their diversity rather than their overall merit. It's a good book to read if you want to be sure that you never read two stories in a row that are remotely like each other. (There's one exception--there are in fact two stories in a row written from the first-person perspective of homosexual men.)
