1993 Editor's Prize Winner
The 1993 Editor’s Prize award went to David Borofka for his story, “Epilogue.” Borofka’s characters – an adultering priest, a virtuous insurance man, a surgeon with multiple sclerosis, two women who are marriage/family counselors and who are both in disastrous marriages – explore the inevitable chasm between professional identity and life. In the end, mercy is found within this chasm: “Grace caroms around the room with the velocity of a hockey puck.” Len, the virtuous insurance man, meets Max, the adulterous priest, in a diner. Len chokes on a piece of sausage and he’s saved not by the priest, not by the doctor, not by either wife, but by an anonymous, vomit-splattered patron who is thought to be nothing more than a vagrant.
