>Pushcart Poll–Analysis

>People seem to have found the list I posted on Saturday pretty interesting, so let’s work with it awhile.

Quiz: In the 6 years covered by my survey (2001-2006) several authors won 2 Pushcart Prizes in fiction. One author won 3. The first person to post a comment with that author’s name wins . . . something. A book, maybe. Yeah, that’s it. A book.

About the author

I am the author of three novels--THE LAST BIRD OF PARADISE, OLIVER'S TRAVELS, and THE SHAMAN OF TURTLE VALLEY--and three story collections--IN AN UNCHARTED COUNTRY, HOUSE OF THE ANCIENTS AND OTHER STORIES, and WHAT THE ZHANG BOYS KNOW, winner of the Library of Virginia Literary Award for Fiction. I am also the co-founder and former editor of Prime Number Magazine and the editor of the award-winning anthology series EVERYWHERE STORIES: SHORT FICTION FROM A SMALL PLANET.

  1. >J.C. Oates

    I believe this is correct, but request that you donate the book to a library or a convalescent home in your area as opposed to adding to my own piles if in fact I am correct.

  2. >Dan, you are correct! Guess I’ll have to come up with some harder questions . . .

    I’ll make the donation as you suggest. Thanks for playing.

  3. >By the way, Ms. Oates won those three Prizes for stories in Conjunctions, Georgia Review and Salmagundi.
