A Private State

First edition

A Private State (1997) is a collection of short stories by Charlotte Bacon. It won the Ernest Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award (1998), and the Associated Writing Programs Award for Short Fiction (1996).[1] A story from the collection "Live Free or Die", won the 1996 Pirate's Alley Faulkner Society Award for Best Short Story.[1]

Reception

In the New York Times Book Review, Lisa Zeidner, a professor of English at Rutgers University, wrote, "Bacon is attempting to produce exciting fiction about essentially unexciting and predictable lives -- a surprisingly difficult task. It's hard to get the balance right between dailiness and drama. Readers may occasionally wish that these women and Bacon's stories took more chances. She often succeeds."[2]
