...breath away. I love the power and economy of short stories. A story can achieve that moment where you reach the last word and it feels as though you’ve been led to the one and only place where it can end. One doesn’t trump the other, but a novel can’t do that by the sheer nature of its length.13.FM: Word on the street is that you’re writing a novel.
