Week 2 (starts Monday 6 November): What Is a Novella?
- Ponder the definition, list favorites, or choose ones you think best capture the ‘spirit’ of a novella.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines "novella" as "Originally: a short fictitious narrative. Now (usually): a short novel, a long short story."
I agree. A short novel. A long short story.
You can't really argue with the Oxford English Dictionary, can you?
However, for the sake of this event, I will include short nonfiction, too, if it reads like a fiction story. I'm only stretching the definition because everyone who participates in this event does so.
