The Best Short Stories 2021: The O. Henry Prize Winners
by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
High school exposed me to short stories. I didn't like what we read at the time, like most people. This volume--in addition to Flannery O'Connor's complete works--have helped me appreciate and enjoy the form, and I loved seeing what can be accomplished in such a compact form.
