ادبیات داستانی و پیوسته هایش الفارسية 1401

John Cheever, the famous American short story writer, says: "The selected event, the writer enters the battle at a certain time and in a certain place." Here, there is no news of those freedoms that are in the novel, and the hero must catch the story in one moment, get stuck in a critical moment of his life, and when the story ends, the hero's life will no longer be the same as before the story. But, the greatness of the short story is also in this amazing targeting of a moment; Like a TV camera in a football game. The novel is like a camera that goes around the entire playing field and shows the whole scene and all the players and suddenly stops at the end or in the middle of the field, on the crumpled and inflamed face of one of the players. In my opinion, this is the difference between a novel and a short story. Each has its role in its place. However, as a short story writer myself, I am fascinated by this moment of the hunt, the moment of revelation.
