Summary |
Short stories get short shrift. They are one of the beauties of literature. In just a few pages- sometimes even one- a whole world may be revealed or a mere fragment of a world or character.
Short stories are powerful and versatile. They take tremendous skill as every word counts. A reader can’t skim a short story or skip over the boring parts.
What is a short story? It is a fully developed piece of writing that can generally be read in one sitting. The upper limit is about 20,000 words, which isn’t really that short.
A book of short stories can consist of stories by one author or many and may cover many time periods.
Enjoy stories from this brief selection of stories from the library’s collection. Books of short stories have the word STORIES on the spine label.
