Richard Lea writing in The Guardian over the weekend

Adam Thorpe and Jane Gardam (pic left) head the shortlist for the National Short Story prize, the world's richest single story award, announced earlier today.
They are joined on the shortlist for £15,000 prize by Richard Beard, Erin Soros and Clare Wigfall.
The chair of the judges, Martha Kearney, hailed the depth and quality of the 635 entries received this year, calling it an "immense pleasure" to be involved with judging "the perfect art form for an age when people are so short of time".
