@MathPrinceps I think it's that novels tend to be richer in narrative, comparatively; often richer in character; tho this isn't always so.17 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

@WriterobinRS 2 hours just isn't long enough to tell a story that takes 14 hours to read aloud; compression by a factor of 7 is amputation.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@MathPrinceps No amputation. The book has its limbs. Sleeping Beauty equals ballet=fairytale=movie=animation=storytelling in all art forms.8 replies 0 retweets 0 likes

@WriterobinRS After all, masterful storytelling exists outside the novel. "Sleeping Beauty," a tiny, spellbinding tale, is but one of many.
