The Reader Berlin brings you ten award-winning contemporary short stories in this anthology of fresh and original writing. Compiled from the winners of 2014's Reader Berlin short story competition, these tales – selected by judges Laura Hassan (Guardian Faber), Brittani Sonnenberg (author of HOME LEAVE, Grand Central Publishing) and Florian Duijsens (Editor at SAND and Asymptote) - showcase the distinctive voices of ten emerging talents. United only by the city that inspired them, and ranging from the historical to the dystopian, the observational to the futuristic, they bear witness to one of the world's greatest most mutable cities: Berlin.
