WINNERS Fish Short Story Prize 2013/14

February 23rd, 2016 | Uncategorized | Comments Off on WINNERS Fish Short Story Prize 2013/14

Claire Kilroy has chosen the following stories to be published in the 2014 Fish Anthology.

I was drawn to stories that were inventive in terms of language, imagery and plot, stories that possessed sparks of brilliance. The ones that made the anthology were not necessarily the most polished, or the strongest in terms of narrative technique – indeed, some of them are still a little raw and lack a satisfactory structure. Instead, I picked the stories that arrested my imagination by showcasing an arresting imagination themselves. I was struck by how funny many of them are, several of them joyously so – they are madcap and eccentric and great fun. Others – despite restrained and elegant prose – managed to be devastating. All of them are the work of writers with talent.

Claire Kilroy
