Each one will take the reader on a brief yet unforgettable journey into private worlds and unexpected corners of the human heart.  The shortlisted stories have all been chosen for this year's  Sunday Times  Audible Short Story Award - the world's richest and most prestigious prize for a single short story, dubbed the 'equivalent of the Man Booker for the short story' by the  Sydney Morning Herald .  The finalists of 2019 come from three continents, whose exceptional stories span such diverse territory as high end fashion, the Troubles, a disastrous poetry anthology cross-cultural romance and family secrets. But all are linked by their competence and artistry, through stylistic inventiveness, dark humour, intricacy, and a masterful formal control.  This podcast is free for members. You can download all 6 episodes to your Library now.
