So he felt there was a predictability about it and a kind of melodrama and bathetic response that was required that could be avoided really in short stories. What we did was to publish it always as a paperback original...Our idea was to write quickly and have it have all the excitement of confetti; it shouldn't be some belabored work. A short story is something that does cut into and out of a subject matter that is very serious, like...
