We’re excited to announce the winner of the humor challenge! We laughed, we chuckled, raised our eyebrows, but this is the story we returned to the most! We’re grateful to all the submitters who helped us launch a new genre at Uncharted!
The Winner:
Selected Apologies to Simone de Beauvoir, Written in Lichen by Tiffany Harris. “A retired accountant wants to feel relevant again, so he goes to a neighborhood book club and embarrasses himself. We’ve all had those embarrassing moments that keep happening as we try to fix the original faux pas, and Harris keeps cranking up the tension here!” ~The Editors
