Molly Keane is not widely read here in the US, which is a loss and a shame. I hope that posts about an award in her name are seen here by many more people than me, and that it nurtures American readers of her wonderful writing. Her books are readily available on (sorry) Amazon.
I look forward to reading the winning short story.
