Publisher's Synopsis
Ambition is the theme for 2016. Some of the worlds greatest literature has dealt with this theme - Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, William Makepeace Thackeray's Vanity Fair, Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities. Ambition can be sparked by positive reasons - such as wanting to be worthy of the person one loves - or negative reasons - such as revenge. This year's winning stories explore personal ambition within the context of wide social pressures. Momaya Press has been giving writers a forum to express themselves and be heard for over a decade. Each year, Momaya receives hundreds of short story submissions from all over the world and brings the best of them together in the prestigious Momaya Short Story Review.
