This month we're going to dip into The Best Short Stories, 2024 (Vintage, 2024). All the stories are O.Henry Prize winners. The O. Henry prize is awarded to exceptional (according to the judges) short stories published in the US, Canada and Africa. The question is, do you agree that these stories are exceptional?
We’ve included five of the stories dealing with troublesome pets, difficult neighbours, rebellious children, and even more problematic spouses, ... and mobile homes:
- “The Home Visit” by Morris Collins
- “Didi” by Amber Caron
- “Serranos” by Francisco González
- “Seeing Through Maps” by Madeline ffitch
- “Mobilization” by Allegra Hyde
Happy reading!

Dedicated to literature in English, the Reading Group “What happens next?” meets in the Biblioteca Civica once a month, on Friday at 6 p.m. Each event will focus on a different author or genre of English literature and will allow participants to practice talking about the stories. The discussions will be hosted by Jon Shave, teacher of English language and literature.
Participants require a knowledge of the language at the intermediate level or higher, curiosity about books and stories and the desire to get involved.
