  Novella information - Search.com
Although the novella is a common literary genre in several European languages, it is rarely used in English.
As the etymology suggests, novellas originally were news of town and country life worth repeating for amusement and edification.
For the German writer, a novella is a fictional narrative of indeterminate length—a few pages to hundreds—restricted to a single, suspenseful event, situation, or conflict leading to an unexpected turning point (Wendepunkt), provoking a logical, but surprising end; Novellen tend to contain a concrete symbol, which is the narration's steady point.

 The SF Site Featured Review: To Leuchars
Perhaps this sentiment of novella preference could be equated to how Faulkner scholars fawn over each and every detail concerning Yoknapatawpha County as opposed to how well the stories stand on their own.
Second, that "To Leuchars" is a "routine" novella in which Earth, a S'hodunni colony, finally produces a colony of its own through the beneficence of the superior S'hodunni.
The title story (on Locus's Recommending Reading list of novellas published in 2000) closes the novel with the tale of a poet, under the assumed name of Clifford Lamb, who must become a reluctant saviour to the people of Leuchars.

But the TOC listings had only two novellas, and two that I counted as novelets were listed as short stories, meaning the "official count" was 2 novellas, 25 novelets, and 57 short stories.
The two stories that I had listed as novellas but that the magazine calls novelets were John McDaid's "Keyboard Practice: Consisting of an Aria with Diverse Variations for the Harpsichord with Two Manuals" and Al Michaud's "Ayuh, Claudius", both pretty decent.
Average novella: 19200 words, average novelet: 11000 words, average short story: 4500 words, all roughly the same (the novellas somewhat shorter) as last year.

 Feminista!'s "100 Great 20th Century Works of Fiction by Women" on Lists of Bests   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
While we’d [Feminista!] agree that the Modern Library’s list features some extraordinary and wonderful works of fiction, we’re a little dismayed by a list of major 20th century English language novels that completely overlooks such writers as Margaret Atwood, Nadine Gordimer, Zora Neale Hurston, Harper Lee, Doris Lessing, Toni Morrison and Sylvia Plath.
In order to choose the works on the list, women’s online forums and lists were canvassed.
Both are wonderful, and while Rand’s political views could be construed as slightly insane, she is certainly an important figure in modern feminist literature.

 Dalkey Archive Press: Arno Schmidt
The novella was Schmidt's preferred form at the beginning of his writing career, and this volume collects the ten novellas he wrote between Entymesis (1949) and Republica Intelligentsia (1957), most of the them appearing here in English for the first time.
Bursting with intellectual and sexual energies, resuscitating the German language after two decades of Nazi subjugation, these novellas revolutionized German literature in the 1950s and retain their power to shock and delight forty years later.
While the themes and stories alone warrant hefty works of fiction--war, devastation, love, art--it's the rambunctious style that brings these themes their power and their immediacy as well as their ability to capture, like Virginia Woolf, moments of being.
