Quote of the day
"In an age of split-second access to unlimited information, a short story is wonderfully finite: the end is always in sight. Yet the best short stories aren't short on story at all. Instead, they manage to fit an unwieldy world into a very small space. The trick for the writer is to hide the muscle it takes to pull off that compression, convincing us that the world on the page spins easily beyond the story's boundaries." (Maggie Galehouse)
