Another Quote
Here's another quote I made up about the status of the short story in America:
The short story is like the red-winged blackbird and the novel is like the duck-billed platypus. The short story doesn't take on too much and its beauty is in the juxtaposition of one fantastic detail with an otherwise ordinary setting. The novel simply takes on too much, the juxtapositions become convoluted and lost, and in the end it's not fantastic, but ridiculous, awkward and hard to believe. And, yet, ask anyone which animal they'd rather see.
