Tomorrow this year’s O. Henry Prize anthology hits bookstores, and in it you’ll find my translation of Michele Mari’s “The Soccer Balls of Mr. Kurz.” I’m thrilled that more people will discover Mari thanks to this beautiful collection!✨ With thanks to amor towles & Jenny Minton Quigley.

It was an honor to serve as the guest editor of the 2024 O. Henry Prize. The anthology of the twenty winning short stories, which is published today, is sure to satisfy all lovers of the art form. Congratulations to the winners!

A superb collection of stories, selected by amor towles. “The Soccer Balls of Mister Kurz,” by Michele Mari, which I had the pleasure to record, is delightful. Available wherever audiobooks are sold.

"You, Bleeding Childhood and Verdigris differentially explore the zany habits of collectors who allow objects—and the memories they evoke—to govern them." A fascinating essay on personal canons and the ecstatic perils of book collecting in Michele Mari! And Other Stories
