The writing of a fine short story is such a very different art from writing a novel. Short stories thrive on brevity, drawing readers into a compact world rich with meaning. Each word must serve a purpose, each sentence a step toward to the resolution.
I am not a huge reader of short stories. Generally, I prefer more ‘meat’, a story that will last me for days, but I admire the conciseness, skilled choice of every single word, and the ability to rapidly pin down a character and situation found in short stories.
