| | Short story - definition of Short story in Encyclopedia |
| | Perhaps the first short story written in the English language, the entry in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for the year 755 AD gives us a good idea of what the core purpose of a short story might be. | | | A classic definition of a short story's length is that it must be able to be read in one sitting but in contemporary usage the term most often refers to a piece of fiction up to 20,000 words. | | | Magazines are still the venue of the modern short story. |

| | Short story - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Short stories have their origins in the prose anecdote, a swiftly-sketched situation that comes rapidly to its point, with parallels in oral story-telling traditions. | | | The short story has also come to embrace forms of non-fiction such as travel writing, prose poetry and postmodern variants of fiction and non-fiction such as ficto-criticism or new journalism. | | | Both of these books are composed of individual short stories (which range from farce or humorous anecdotes to well-crafted literary fictions) set within a larger narrative story (a frame story), although the frame tale device was not adopted by all writers. |

| | Perhaps the first short story written in the English language, the entry in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for the year 755 AD gives us a good idea of what the core purpose of a short story might be. | | | The short story, as a form in writing, is prose writing of less than 10,000 to 20,000 words (and usually more than 500 words) which may or may not have a narrative arc. | | | That is the eternal conundrum of the short story, and its longer prose brethren. |

| | Some authors complicate the structure of their plots with the use of flashbacks and flash-forwards; with a frame that encloses the story (a story within a story); or with subplots (secondary storylines) or double plots (two or more equally important narratives progressing simultaneously, usually converging at the end). | | | The modern short story itself was once considered an innovation in fiction, and since the 19th century certain writers have pushed the edges of the form. | | | The short story form ranges from “short shorts,” which run in length from a sentence to four pages, to novellas that can easily be 100 pages long and exhibit characteristics of both the short story and the novel. |

| | Bold Type: 2001 O. Henry Awards |
| | Things turn out badly--in fact the story could be called "The Boy with the Blackened Eye." Carlson is one of three authors, along with Oates and Alice Munro, to have both a story selected for this volume of the O. Henry Awards--"At the Jim Bridger"--and a story short-listed. | | | Pinckney Benedict, a two-time O. Henry Award winner represented in Prize Stories 2001 with "Zog-19: A Scientific Romance," has contributed to this feature a story called "Buckeyes," which was included in the PEN Syndicated Fiction Project several years ago and was also performed in the Selected Shorts program. | | | I hope this issue of Bold Type whets readers' appetites for the 2001 volume of The O. Henry Awards and that the book and this feature will serve as a starting point for further exploration by readers interested in the contemporary short story. |

| | Confessions of an Idiosyncratic Mind: Save our short story |
| | My ultimate goal with "The Short Of It" and the other things I'm doing and thinking about doing is to get the short story to the point where authors can make a living or, at least, substantially supplement their other income. | | | The entire story focuses on their relationship and how she waits and waits for him to write--but the twist ending packs as much punch as would a crime story where all assumptions about the killer were turned on its ear. | | | I'm never sure if I write mysteries or not, to be perfectly honest, but what I do know is that I write short stories and would write nothing but them if it were economically feasible. |
