The 2001 Asham Literary Trust competiton attracted more than nine hundred entries of which the judges selected 12, which are published here together with commissioned stories by Louise Doughty, Patricia Duncker, A.L. Kennedy, Elena Lappin, Kate Pullinger, and Carol Shields. The result is a collection of stories from Zimbabwe to San Francisco via Brighton and Jamaica that proves that the short story is alive and kicking.
Collaboratively compiled and edited by Carole Buchan and Kate Pullinger, Harlot Red is an impressive collection showcasing twelve winning short stories (drawn from more than 900 submissions) from the 2001 Asham Literary Trust's third bi-annual competition of short stories by female authors. As a result, twelve eclectic and unique woman writers present their literarily adroit, intrinsically fascinating and engagingly varied takes on life in this compelling and diverse anthology of contemporary literature.
