While all stories must be written originally in English quite a few are set in non-English speaking countries such as Laos, Turkey, etc.

Despite my three stars I recommend this book to readers whom enjoy short stories. Finding that one special story makes the effort to read all the others worthwhile!

Feb 28, AJ rated it really liked it. As might be expected with an anthology like this, there's a range of story, and for me, at least, it is pretty near impossible to imagine thoroughly enjoying each and every story within that range.

However, there were several that really shone masterfully. No Spanish, about a father who decrees that his Basque family will speak only that language, now that it has been outlawed, despite the fact none of them speak their ancestral tongue at the moment.

It's comic and sad and absurd and political, As might be expected with an anthology like this, there's a range of story, and for me, at least, it is pretty near impossible to imagine thoroughly enjoying each and every story within that range.

It's comic and sad and absurd and political, the daughter rebelling against the rebellion. Girl of Few Seasons was a heart-breaker. An impoverished young Hawaiian man carries the guilt for his sister's mental infirmity to the point where he opts to serve in Vietnam only so it will allow him a flight to the island where his sister is confined in an institution he has been unable to visit.

Julia and Sunny was an enjoyable change of pace, written in second person plural that felt natural despite its off-centred sound to the ear.

It's about a couple that witnesses the breakup of two of their best friends. It's such a smooth read that the lack of real gravity for me, at least in this story made it all the more of a marvel at how compelled I was to turn the pages.

Omakase was similar, a small story of a couple going out to dinner at a Japanese restaurant, infusing racial undercurrents and the child of immigrant influence to successfully build tension in the relationship, so that the reader wonders if this couple will survive.

Unstuck was also intriguing, a woman who believes her house is haunted, quite possibly by the unseen person who rescued after she'd gotten stuck in a tight slot canyon.

Aguacero, about the daughter of Colombian immigrants encountering a Colombian ex-pat, both of them traumatized by what their ancestral country's cruel traumas, and therefore drawn to each other despite the age difference and the young woman's skepticism about the man's motives.

And Lagomorph, about a man's relationship with a rabbit. OK, the family rabbit, but now the kids are gone, and he and his wife have divorced, and this rabbit continues to linger on somewhat enigmatically, and a certain ambivalence in the man's affection for it perhaps mirroring the ambivalence he felt in his marriage once he and his wife were alone with each other.

It was a diverse collection, with enough successful stories, in an array of styles, that I found it really satisfying despite the few stories that didn't grab me.

Jan 18, Mobius rated it it was ok. The best story was "Prime". The other stories ranged from boring to okay. Two interesting ones were "The Shew Tree" and "Lagomorph".

All her doubts come to the fore, all the doubts, embarrassments and pride about a partner, heightened by the events of the dining experience.

As a reader, a realistic, even melancholy story resonates with me. So when I came across this collection of short stories at my local library it didn't take much convincing for me to borrow.

Ok, so no reader will like each and every story in a compilation. Nonetheless, I expected more from such an exalted collection. To be sure, there were a several standouts which made reading the entire book worthwhile.

The collection is noticea I enjoy reading short stories. The collection is noticeable for another reason, the geographical breadth of the authors.

For me, all of the powerful and poignant stories lived in the first half of the book. What resonates with me? Women, teen girls, young girls, relationships between women, sex and sexuality.

For me, stories were hit or miss, but I wondered generally if perhaps I wasn't reading carefully enough to pick up on what surely must have been some of the nuances the writers had intended.

My favorite story by far was Flowers for America. My least favorite by a mile was Prime. Felt to me like it was just a stream of consciousness, but in reading the authors note, apparently I was way off base.

Oct 18, Michele rated it really liked it. This diverse collection probably has something for everyone.

One thing I appreciated was the essays the jurors wrote about their favorite stories—I found it interesting to read their insights as writers.

Each writer also provided a short reflection of their own on their story which also was interesting to read. Sep 18, Eileen rated it liked it Shelves: short-stories , giveaways , read-in I read this collection most years, and was thrilled to win a copy in a Goodreads giveaway!

One thing I love about the O. Henry Prize collection each year is the author insights at the back of the book. While this year's collection wasn't un-putdowanable for me, there were a few standout stories that I really enjoyed and all of the stories are well written.

Sep 06, Smriti rated it really liked it. As a collection of short stories usually does, it contains some hits and misses. Three of them stuck with me.

Funny Little Snake is absorbing, with its young, flawed, but sympathetic protagonist. Soma, about a single-minded desire for another, better life.

Omakase, that narrates facts as they happen while telling a story beyond them. Feb 13, Bull Durham rated it liked it. Maybe I've been spoiled spoilt?

It was released in theaters by Focus Features on June 16, , and received generally negative reviews from critics, mostly focused on the film's plot twists and tonal shifts, and Trevorrow's direction, although the cast received some praise.

In a small suburban town in the Hudson Valley , eleven-year-old boy genius Henry Carpenter and his younger brother Peter are being raised by their single mother Susan, a waitress who is working on writing children's picture books.

Henry has used his intellect to invest successfully in the stock market, building up a very substantial nest egg for his family. Henry also protects Peter from a school bully and builds Rube Goldberg machines in their tree house.

Henry and Susan are both fond of their next-door neighbor and Henry's classmate, Christina Sickleman, who has recently become glum.

Henry sees Christina being abused by her stepfather, Glenn, the local police commissioner. Henry reports the abuse to social services and the school principal, Janice Wilder, but Glenn has connections throughout the local government, and Wilder is reluctant to challenge the commissioner without "conclusive evidence".

Henry is unable to get the authorities to launch a serious investigation that would protect Christina. Henry tells his mother that when someone is in trouble, those who can help must take action.

He develops a detailed plan to rescue Christina that he memorializes in a notebook. After a violent seizure, Henry is taken to the hospital, where he is diagnosed with a brain tumor and undergoes surgery.

Anticipating his death, he tells Peter to give Susan the notebook. Days later, Henry dies in Susan's arms in the hospital. Susan is distraught at Henry's death and has difficulty functioning, but when Peter gives her the notebook, she focuses on Henry's plan.

Susan tries, but fails, to interest a nearby social services agency in opening an investigation. One night, from the window in Peter's bedroom, she sees Glenn in Christina's room and decides to carry out the plan.

The notebook and an accompanying cassette tape describe Henry's step-by-step plan to kill Glenn with a sniper rifle while covering Susan's tracks so that it will be impossible to trace the murder back to her.

Susan's alibi is to be provided by executing the murder while both Christina and Peter are performing at a school talent show. Susan slips away from the talent show and puts the plan into motion.

As she is about to pull the trigger, she realizes that Henry's plan, though ingenious, is the construct of a child, and that she must act as an adult.

She immediately confronts Glenn and tells him that she is going to expose him for what he has done to Christina. Glenn replies that everyone will believe him, not her, and he tells her that he is going to call his police chief to come and bring her in.

At the same time, affected by Christina's dance performance at the talent show, Principal Wilder decides to follow through on the abuse accusation and contacts the authorities.

Glenn returns home, calls his relative at Social Services, and learns that an investigation is being opened into his abuse of Christina.

As the police arrive at his house, Glenn kills himself. Susan legally adopts Christina as her daughter. She also finishes writing one of her children's books, as Henry had urged her to do.

Hurwitz wrote the first draft of the screenplay by The film was eventually optioned by Jenette Kahn , and Sidney Kimmel Entertainment joined as a producer.

Trevorrow and Hurwitz found each other to be congenial, but then Trevorrow was hired to direct Jurassic World. Another director was considered.

Principal photography on the film began in September in and around New York City, [6] [11] [12] [13] and concluded in November.

The Book of Henry was scheduled to be released on September 16, , [17] but Focus rescheduled the film's release to June 16, , [18] concluding that during the summer, the film release schedule would offer fewer adult-oriented films that might compete against The Book of Henry for older viewers.

The film was featured at the July Ischia Film Festival , where Trevorrow was honored with the Breakout Director award for the film.

The site's critical consensus reads, " The Book of Henry deserves a few points for ambition, but its tonal juggling act — and a deeply maudlin twist — may leave viewers gaping in disbelief rather than choking back tears.

The Book of Henry Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of The A. Club wrote: "Director Colin Trevorrow But the feeling persists that director Colin Treverrow believes every word in the shambles of a year-old screenplay by crime novelist Gregg Hurwitz.
