Feral Wives

September 27, 2020 by David Updike

“The Feral Wives have left us, that much is clear . . .”

I am thrilled and deeply honored that my story “Feral Wives” has been selected by Karen Dionne as third-prize winner of the annual Marguerite McGlinn Prize for Fiction. It’s a dystopian tale told from the point of view of a rather oblivious narrator. Big thanks to the team at Philadelphia Stories, and especially Christine Weiser, Carla Spataro, and Trish Rodriguez.
