A novelist has hundreds of pages to create their characters, establish their setting, crank the plot into motion. A short story writer has only a few thousand words... and one of the pleasures of reading an anthology of stories such as this one is encountering a wide variety of images, styles, characters, plots and worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Ryan O'Neill \u0026amp; Isabelle Li, Judges 2018\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 099544093X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780995440937\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hunter Writers Centre Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.37d","brand":"WR Book House","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47452596142335,"sku":"9780995440937","price":12.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9457dad7-cc95-4149-9702-8b6f00b4e6e4.jpg?v=1761929359","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/newcastle-short-story-award-2018-9780995440937","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
