I love The Scarlett Pimpernel and its sequels. Of course, I love the Blackadder version too. I haven’t read anything by Alain de Botton but am curious about this title.

There is vulnerability in being naked. But that’s the price of making a difference. Transparency is scary, but powerful. Be encouraged.

Thank you, that means a lot to me. There’s always a danger of sharing this much about yourself, even if it was done so under the guise of “But I’m talking about books.”

Short stories are refreshing and nice if you’re seeking the ability to access the full scope of a story while lacking the time, attention span, or wider perspective of taking in a whole novel. Alice Munro is a master of the form, and I love reading Roberto Bolaño’s stories too (as always).

And I, in turn, have just become a follower of yours! I’m a shorts writer myself, though I might be considered more an essayist. Or a creep. Either way, love your stuff!

Hey Sasha; I just found your blog today. Interesting post; I’m not that familiar with the apparently dubious reputation of short stories, though I think I can see where you’re coming from in terms of their percieved awkwardness as a form. The novel is definitely the more respectable beast, or so it would seem.

This is a bit of shameless self-promotion on my part, but if you’re as keen on short stories as you say, I’ve posted a number of them on my blog, [www.skyeyemachine.com], and I’m looking to continue adding more ongoingly. Maybe you’d be interested to take a look? If nothing else, perhaps your critical eye can tell where I might have mucked up in my work. ;)

I’m looking forward to taking a closer look at your other posts. Cheers~ ^)^-^)a

Wow, I just discovered your blog and this post is amazing. I’m a follower! Love, love, love shorties. I read at least two or three a week. My blog is classic short stories (horror) but mostly the dead 19th-century authors like Lovecraft and MR James, Mary Shelley, Edith Wharton, etc.
Here’s something I found interesting. Whenever I post a classic short by a female author, I get more hits on my blog. What do you make of that? Perhaps the short story (and especially female authors) are on the rise again. I’m hearing that reading a short story during lunchtime is becoming a trend. So what are you reading for lunch today? I’m reading A Trial for Murder by Charles Dickens.
