The
Goodheart Prize for Fiction ($1,000)
Pam Durban of Chapel Hill, North Carolina won the $1,000 Goodheart Prize for Fiction for her story, “The Jap Room,” published in Shenandoah 57/2. The Goodheart Prize is made possible by a generous gift of Harry G. Goodheart, III ’66, of Tryon, North Carolina in memory of his mother, Jeanne Charpiot Goodheart, who wishes the prize to reflect Jeanne Goodheart’s enthusiastic interest in well-crafted fiction and her affection for Washington and Lee University. James Lee Burke of New Iberia, Louisiana was the judge. Durban is the recipient of a Whiting Writer's Award and an NEA Individual Artist Fellowship. Her stories have been widely anthologized, and her books include the novels So Far Back (2002) and The Laughing Place (1993), both from Picador. Her short story "Soon" was included in The Best American Short Stories of the Century. She is the Doris Betts Professor of Creative Writing at the University of North Carolina.
