    Sadly, The market for short stories, one of the greatest of forms, is small. But the market for non-fiction exposes of the "real life" gossip that goes into making short stories, is immense.

        It is indeed reaching poetry squabble levels of disproportion, which is a troubling sign

        Next up, the NY Times is going deep into the time Gladys Fisher flat out stole the quilting pattern Agnes Mayhew invented, right down to the tiny cartwheeling angels.

        Short stories were the best for airplane trips. If I can recall.

        Academic politics is the most vicious and bitter form of politics, because the stakes are so low. -Sayres law. Not Henry Kissinger, who’s been falsely credited for the axiom. But the story is compelling because of the ‘there I go but for the grace of god’ aspect.

        longtime huge fan of short stories here. feels like writing good ones requires considerable skills that don't get exercised in novels and unfortunately your ""Great Novels"" always get (in my impression) more cultural credit than great bodies of short stories, which is a shame
