by Cliff | Posted on

>Jhumpa Lahiri’s new short story collection, Unaccustomed Earth, has been awarded the Frank O’Connor International Short Story Prize. The amazing thing is that the judges went from long list to winner, dispensing with the bother of a short list. I’ve got the book. I guess I need to read it now!
