Short Fiction

Famous quotes containing the words short and/or fiction:

    Woe to that nation whose literature is cut short by the intrusion of force. This is not merely interference with freedom of the press but the sealing up of a nation’s heart, the excision of its memory.
    Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)

    It seems that the fiction writer has a revolting attachment to the poor, for even when he writes about the rich, he is more concerned with what they lack than with what they have.
    Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
