À propos de cet audio

This year's shortlist of six exceptional stories each take the listener on an intense and gripping journey into the human heart. With poise, precision, and a light-footed grace, they conjure dramatically different, starkly real worlds.

Hailing from Ireland, the United States and The Bahamas, the finalists of 2020 share stories on subjects as far apart as their settings, exploring among them romantic and marital discord, dark secrets, homelessness and even a high school football team; yet each one opens doors into its characters' lives in surprising and moving ways.

In another outstanding year for The Sunday Times Audible Short Story Award, dubbed 'the world's most prestigious short story prize' by LitHub, this shortlist bears powerful witness to the thrilling possibilities of the short story form.

    In Berkeley, a homeless teenager stumbles across a college party where everyone has cast off their inhibitions – starting with their clothes. Intrigued by its unusualness, he finds himself drawn to an older girl, despite the hostility of her companions. This is an original, tense, funny and poignant story about the opportunities and risks that present themselves when the status quo shifts.

    An unhappily married woman is having an affair with her English tenant in rural Ireland. When a social event brings them all together for the day, the ensuing tension sees not only the affair come close to being uncovered, but the truth of a darker, long-held secret – and the reason for the woman’s loathing of her husband. Set in the aftermath of The Troubles, this is a tightly-woven story of betrayal and secrets and their impact on family lives.

I was on story number four when I realized they were all sexual and some rather kinky. That was pretty bizarre. You need to have a specific taste to enjoy that I guess. I didn't.

Why are they all sexual
