Winner of the 2004 George Garrett Fiction Prize: Stories

"The dozen short stories of An American Affair give us back a clear and accurate reflection of our own world here and now. Linked together by geographical setting and the clash of contemporary cultures, they challenge our easy assumptions with complexity. The characters are wholly credible and fully dimensional. The stories they tell are moving and memorable. This is short fiction at its best and brightest."-George Garrett, final judge

"These rich, evocative stories deal with the nuances of truth and inadequacy of language to express or even find truth, even when lying is made more difficult."-Jim Daniels

"Wonderfully anchored in place, the stories of An American Affair are provocative and emotionally honest. A good read."-Patricia Henley
