“A good [short story] would take me out of myself and then stuff me back in, outsized, now, and uneasy with the fit.”
一篇好的小小說(shuō)把我拉出自我,然后又把我塞回去封拧,大了一號(hào)夭问,現(xiàn)在,不再感到舒適缰趋。
David Sedaris
"My short stories are like soft shadows I have set out in the world, faint footprints I have left. I remember exactly where I set down each and every one of them, and how I felt when I did.”
我的小小說(shuō)就像我放給世界的微弱的影子,留下的輕盈的腳印味抖,它們中的每一個(gè)我都準(zhǔn)確地記得在哪里放下,以及放下時(shí)我的確切感受仔涩。
Haruki Murakami?
“A short story is a love affair, a novel is a marriage. A short story is a photograph; a novel is a film.”
小小說(shuō)是一場(chǎng)戀愛(ài),小說(shuō)是一場(chǎng)婚姻佩研。小小說(shuō)是一幅照片,小說(shuō)是一場(chǎng)電影旬薯。
Lorrie Moore
