Written by
Eleanor Catton has been announced as the winner of the 2007 Sunday Star-Times Short Story Competition. Judge Owen Marshall described her winning entry, Necropolis as "funny, sharp and true. Sharon is both funny and entirely convincing as a character, and the hardware shop setting is captured with deft and economical touches. It is a story made of so little, yet enlivened by language skills, selective context and a sharp observation of human nature."
