I was not naturally intellectual, but somebody whose interest had to be whetted, still the case sadly.
The reader really has to step up to the plate and read a short story.
We've evolved from sitting back on our tripods and shooting wildlife films like they have been shot historically, which doesn't work for us.
For the last third of life there remains only work. It alone is always stimulating, rejuvenating, exciting and satisfying.
A short story is something that you can hold in your mind. You can really analyze how the entire thing works, like a machine.
I find that short stories are almost like palate cleansers or brain cleansers.
The short story is an imploding universe. It has all the boil of energy inside it. A novel has shrapnel going all over the place. You can have a mistake in a novel. A short story has to be perfect.
Chekhov - shall I be blunt? - is the greatest short story writer who ever lived.
I still read Hemingway. I still read his short stories because they're so good. He doesn't waste any words.
