Larry Dark
Larry Dark has been the director of The Story Prize—a U.S. book award for short story collections—since its inception in 2004. He served as series editor of the O. Henry Awards for the 1997-2002 volumes. He has also compiled, edited, and introduced four other literary anthologies.
== Background ==
While an MFA in fiction student at Columbia University, Dark served as nonfiction editor for ''Columbia: A Magazine of Poetry & Prose.'' He hit upon the idea of asking writers to contribute something they’d cut from their work or never used. The twenty pieces Dark received ran in issue 13 of the magazine in 1989 as “Cut-Outs.” 〔(''Columbia Journal,'' Issue 13, PDF of contents page )〕 An editor at Ballantine Books, Betsy Lerner, approached Dark about the possibility of a book length collection of such pieces, which became ''Literary Outtakes'' (Ballantine, 1990).〔(Library of Congress catalogue record, ''Literary Outtakes'' )〕 The book included a foreword by Harold Bloom and work from 101 authors, including Nicholson Baker, Peter Benchley, T.C. Boyle, Annie Dillard, Allen Ginsberg, Charles Johnson, Elmore Leonard, Joyce Carol Oates, Sharon Olds, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Amy Tan, and John Updike. After that, Dark compiled, edited, and introduced three themed short story anthologies: ''The Literary Ghost'' (Atlantic Monthly Press, 1991),〔(Library of Congress catalogue record, ''The Literary Ghost'' )〕 ''The Literary Lover'' (Viking, 1993),〔(Library of Congress catalogue record, ''The Literary Lover'' )〕 and ''The Literary Traveler'' (Viking, 1994).〔(Library of Congress catalogue record, ''The Literary Traveler'' )〕
