1999 Pushcart Prize Xxiii: Best Of The Small Presses

Front Cover
WW Norton, Apr 6, 1999 - Fiction - 600 pages
The truth is, though the Pushcart Prize is an anthology, it is something else besides. And to call it an institution (after many years it might be called that) is not to see it with full clarity. The Pushcart Prize is a handle on a whole society; and not simply a handle to get a hold of something, but to make an idea go. --Cynthia Ozick.
