Mohit Parikh’s Reviews > The O. Henry Prize Stories 2017 > Status Update

Joseph O'Neil's story begins like a master's, tight, funny, just right. In the middle it stumbles, a writer with an interesting character searching for a story.
Ends like a piece of online fiction no-one would care about.
If only.

Average works so far, except for maybe two stories. Hoping the second half has better in store.

A little underwhelming so far because I remember having read much better work of fiction on the net when I was writing Manan. Still, not altogether bad either.
