2012 Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award Finalists

I’m a bit late, but earlier this week the finalists for the Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award were announced.

• Dark Lies the Island, by Kevin Barry
• What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank, by Nathan Englander
• The Trouble with Fire, by Fiona Kidman
• The Beautiful Indifference, by Sarah Hall
• Suddenly a Knock on the Door, by Etgar Keret
• Happiness Is a Chemical in the Brain, by Lucia Perillo

I haven’t read any of the collections, and the only one I may have sampled are the Englander (click here ^[1]for my thoughts on “What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank,” which I didn’t like but many did) and the Keret (click here ^[2]for my thoughts on “Creative Writing,” which I liked).
