13. SHORT STORIES AND TYPES OF THEM
There Are Many More Types of Short Stories than we know of …
If I had to nit-pick between a novel and a short story, I would still choose a short story. And, not because its shortin length and is easy to finish, but because it takes a great deal of effort and creativity to pen down a story from more than 50 pages down to a few… It is the most difficult of all tasks—to edit and cut short a limitless flow of thoughts and scenes into one short and self-sufficient piece of story. Crafting a short story is an art in itself; something aspiring novel writers should expose themselves to more—it would help them develop, shape and polish the chapters of their novels for better.
Writers like J.D. Salinger, Raymond Carver, Alice Munro and George Sauders’s short stories are a must read. Each one has a unique way of writing short stories; it reflects in their stories. Reading these writers’s work would be of great help to anyone who is trying to write down his/her short stories. But, before we could get to the types of short stories, you must first understand what story means.
What is a Short Story?
A short story, written usually in the form of a narrative prose is a part of brief literature—one that could be read within a brief span of time, and the one that is self-contained. And although, short stories are quite often thought to be the future as it would replace novels with a briefer version of a story, novels would still be crowned as the quintessential face value of literature as a whole. The effect of a short story and a novel are poles apart, even when they still share those literary components with which it is crafted—both having their charms…
Short stories mostly focus on one particular or specific incident and comprise a few cast of character. Short stories are shorter in its breath and heartbeat—more like a story and take a lesser and shorter degree of lengthto its narration than a novel does.
