The Tampa Review editorial team is excited to announce that our guest judge, Kirstin Valdez Quade, acclaimed author of Night at the Fiestas and The Five Wounds, has selected a winner for the Danahy Prize for short fiction.
This year’s winning story is “Memory Unit” by Louise Marburg. Marburg is the author of three collections of stories, The Truth About Me, No Diving Allowed, and You Have Reached Your Destination. She lives in New York City with her husband, the artist Charles Marburg.
Of the winning story, Kirstin Valdez Quade says, “‘Memory Unit’ is witty and surefooted and beautifully attentive to character. The incisive observations, prickly humor, and tenderness make this large-hearted wedding romp a delight.”
Valdez Quade also selected the following finalists:
“Chiaroscuro” by J. Pinaire
“The Scale of Things” by Allison Grace Myers
Please join us in congratulating Louise, and we hope you’ll keep us in mind when submissions open once again in the fall.
Thank you all for sending us your work.
Best wishes,
Tampa Review Editors
