  Short Story Encyclopedia Articles @ LocalColorArt.com (Local Color Art)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Short stories tend to be more concise and to the point than longer works of fiction, such as novellas (in the modern sense of this term) and novels.
Two ancient forms of short stories which did not exist within a larger narrative format are the fable and the anecdote.
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.

 Online NewsHour: Art of the Story- November 18, 1998
Stories live in time, and yet, as the great image of Scheherazade teaches us, stories are a way not only of spinning out time but of holding back time.
Every story seems to be something - almost every one about the last - there's even a story about a lecture series where the lecturer is to pretend that this is their last lecture ever.
JOHN BARTH: When I first was beset by the muse of the short story back in the 1960s, I decided since I'm a long-winded novelist, I'm going to start by writing the shortest story in the English language, which at the same time would be an infinite story that would go on forever.

 Partly Told In Letters: Trollope's Story-telling Art   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The story of Trollope's uses of letters in his fiction is not one of painstaking gradual artistic development, but of sudden changes and shifts in emphasis.
Such semi-epistolary narratives are basic to Trollope's way of telling a story by this point: he moves back and forth among the conflicting divagating responses of Lily, her mother, Adolphus, and his narrator, all of which are subjective (21, 25, 27, 31).
One of Trollope's short stories, 'Josephine de Montmorenci' (1869) and for long stretches Kept in the Dark (1880) are in effect and throughout semi-epistolary novels with the interstices between letters filled by an ironic or unobtrusive narrator as the occasion may warrant (Kept in the Dark 4-5, 11-14, 16-20, 23).

 The Superhero Hype! Boards - Art or Story?
Nobody is saying "hell, art doesn't matter, you can smear some crap on a page and if the story's good, who cares?" However, a badly drawn comic can still tell a successful story even if the art is not up to par.
Short stories are just as good as comic books to read, better in a lot of cases, so this is an insult or anything.
Where the story may have lacked, the art was more interesting and where the art may have lacked, the story was even more intriguing.

 Amazon.com: The Story of Art, 16th Edition (Gombrich, Ernst Hans Josef//Story of Art): Books: E.H. Gombrich   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
His premise, that the love of art, not the love of history, is the appropriate basis for its study is communicated directly with his irrepressible enthusiasm for certain masters and his passionate exasperation with 20th century nonobjective artists.
In his discussion of twentieth-century art, for instance, Gombrich explains how even the most experimental contemporary art is connected in some way to what has gone before.
Gombrich tells the story of art "as the story of a continuous weaving and changing of traditions in which each work refers to the past and points to the future." Gombrich's invaluable history is a veritable celebration of this "living chain." Donna Seaman

 Jane's Art and Her Story
In her story, Jane's solitary pastime sometimes operates as an outlet of past or present pain, and often offers her a chance to deal with unpleasant memories and emotions.
Jane's art transcends her isolation by bringing her into contact with others who see it; it serves as a bridge over the chasm between her desire to be alone and her need for companionship, which is demonstrated by key scenes in the novel that include a viewing of her art.
Her art is her comfort and offers "occupation and amusement" during her stay, where she allows herself to follow the "ever shifting kaleidoscope of imagination" (244; ch.
