Won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Fiction (1991). Also shortlisted or longlisted for 1 other award.

White People won the Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. Here are eleven masterful works of short fiction. First seen in The New Yorker, Harper's, the Paris Review, Granta, and elsewhere, they are darkly comic stories and novellas about love and money among American WASPs, that majority outnumbered, outflanked, and somewhat out of love with itself.
