The O. Henry Prize Stories 2017 by Laura Furman
2.0
Abandoned this one after I read several stories that fit squarely within Marlon Jame's critique of the modern publishing scene: sad white people pondering their sadness.
The stories honored here were certainly well-written--it's not a critique of the included writers' skill or craftsmanship--but rather a matter of personal taste. It's also worth mentioning I didn't read every story in the anthology, so certainly there are stories in the latter half that could have completely refuted my review.
