- Synopsis
- "Jerome Stern, director of the writing program at Florida State, Initiated the World's Best Short Short Story Contest. Stories were to be about 250 words long; first prize was a check and a crate of oranges. Two to three thousand stories began to show up annually, and National Public Radio regularly broadcast the winner. This anthology presents a decade of contest winners and selected finalists. In addition, Stern commissioned Micros, persuading a roster of writers to accept the challenge of completing a story in one page. How short can a Micro be, you wonder. Look up Amy Hampers contribution, and you'll see. JEROME STERN, a professor of English and popular culture, was also the author of an acclaimed book on writing, Making Shapely Fiction. His incisive monologues, which he called "Radios," were heard regularly on National Public Radio. He died in 1996, but was able to make the final selection for this anthology."
