Katherine Hester’s story collection “Eggs For Young America” won the Katharine Bakeless Nason Fiction Prize and was named a 1997 notable book by the New York Times.
In its review, the Times called the collection “a remarkably assured book by a wise and provocative writer.” Francine Prose said “Hester’s generous, capacious and complex stories test the boundaries and push the limits of much conventional fiction. She keeps ranging wider and digging deeper to reveal the hard truths of her characters’ lives.”
Her fiction has also appeared in Prize Stories: The O. Henry Awards, American Short Fiction, the Yale Review, Five Points and other journals.
