Short Stories, Big Feelings: How 10 Pages Can Wreck You

Описание: Short stories, big feelings: in this video we unpack why 10 pages can hit harder than a 500-page novel. We break down what a short story actually is (and what it definitely isn’t), the different “flavors” of short fiction, and simple ways to get more out of reading them—no lit degree required. You’ll also get 10 spoiler-free short story recommendations you can read in a single sitting, with links in the description so you can start right away. If you’re a busy reader, a lapsed reader, or a book lover who wants maximum emotional impact in minimum page count, this one’s for you—then come back and tell us which story wrecked you the most.
