Description
Frank O'Connor once argued that one of the distinguishing characteristics of the short story is its "intense awareness of human loneliness".
The stories shortlisted for The BBC National Short Story Award 2017 all feature characters that are disconnected, willingly or unwillingly, from the people and places around them. Whether it be the man dangerously adrift in a violent storm; the obsessive hoarder mourning his wife's disappearance; or the mysterious out-of-towner shunned by her new colleagues, each story speaks of a moment of loss, or in some cases release, and its myriad outcomes.
This year's shortlist was drawn up by a panel of judges that included authors Joanna Trollope, Eimear McBride, Jon McGregor and Sunjeev Sahota, as well as Books Editor for BBC Radio Di Speirs.
