Congratulations to Neshat Khan! We are pleased to announce the winner of the 2019 Aura Estrada Short Story Contest, selected by judge Alexander Chee. Congratulations to Neshat Khan, who won for her story “The Neighbors.” Khan also receives a $1,500 prize. Chee writes, “‘The Neighbors’ is the story of two women figuring out the nature of a desire they don’t have words for, inventing a world between them before bringing it down.
The Spring 2019 Aura Estrada Short Story Contest Winner “The Neighbors” is the story of two women figuring out the nature of a desire they don’t have words for, inventing a world between them before bringing it down. Told in the spare language of a fairy tale, set a little outside of time, it is, sentence by sentence, a stark evocation of the game they make between them, the stakes of which are their entire lives.
