Editor’s Prize Judge: “Immensely appealing...Roorbach’s tender, affecting stories will leave you feeling as if you’ve come to understand your own missteps and misjudgments slightly better, and to forgive yourself a little more.” – Newsday “Bill Roorbach is a brilliant guide to the natural world. Gracefully combining deep knowledge, lyrical description and wry humor, his writing draws you out of your chair and into a world of streams and meadows and trees and bugs and beavers. And it makes you want to stay there.” -Hartford Courant “Roorbach is as raw and engaged a writer as you’ll ever read...He rivals James Baldwin in his ability to miraculously open up rivers of male sentiment.” – Los Angeles Weekly Editor’s Prize “‘Tumbling Dice’ is a sharp, well-paced, harrowing look into a dysfunctional family that yet abides with love. The language is original, fresh, as is the very structure of the piece, with its epistolary counterpoint and welter of voices.” Honorable Mentions “‘My Peripeteia’ is a fond portrait of a complicated father, and also a good road trip piece. Good language, bright settings, nice dialogue.” “A Charming Red Stiletto is Hanging from a Cloud” “‘A Charming Red Stiletto is Hanging from a Cloud’ is a great look at a crappy job. There’s a lot of humor here, and a lot of wry observation and smart self-deprecation.”
