The Science Fiction Stories
This ebook may not meet accessibility standards and may not be fully compatible with assistive technologies.
In science fiction, experience seems to show that long stories have an advantage over short ones. The longer the story, all things being equal, the more memorable. There is reason to this. The longer the story, the more the author can spread himself. If the story is long enough, he can indulge himself in plot and subplot with intricate interconnections. He can engage in leisurely description, in careful character delineation, in thoughtful homilies and philosophical discussions. He can play tricks on the reader, hiding important information, misleading and misdirecting, then bringing back forgotten themes and characters at the moment of greatest effect.
