The Story Prize Awards Ceremony 2012

Three celebrated authors, whose collections span decades-long careers, vie for The Story Prize, the richest top prize of any annual U.S. book award for fiction. The Story Prize honors three outstanding short story fiction collections chosen from among a field of 92 books that 60 different publishers or imprints submitted in 2011. The three finalists — Don DeLillo, The Angel Esmeralda (Scribner); Steve Millhauser, We Others (Alfred A. Knopf); and Edith Perlman, Binocular Vision (Lookout Books) — will read selections from their work, after which Director Larry Dark will interview each writer on-stage. At the end of the event, Founder Julie Lindsey will announce the winner and present that author with $20,000 and an engraved silver bowl. The two runners-up will each receive $5,000. Sponsored by the New School of Writing. $14: general admission; $10: students with school ID; free to New School students, faculty, staff, and alumni with ID. 212-229-5488.
