My favorite short stories are by Alice Munro, especially her collections 'Carried Away' and 'Runaway.'
I find that short stories are almost like palate cleansers or brain cleansers.
I've read short stories that are as dense as a 19th century novel and novels that really are short stories filled with a lot of helium.
I used to have a sort of spiky haircut and it just feels better to have short hair again.
The great pleasure for me in writing short stories is the fierce, elegant challenge.
I like the eclipses, the synaptic jumps of short stories. The reader has to participate very actively in the experience.
I just have been so surprised and delighted with what has happened with 'Hamilton.' It really has been one of the most enchanting experiences of my life.
As a writer, as a creator, I'm giving you my experiences. But just take what I give you. You ain't got to pry beyond that.
People are attracted to entertainment, for sure, or jokes, excitement and romantically heightened stories that might be false, but are still attractive fantasies.
