Over time some of them have grown the \"claws and wings\" of novels as Vladimir Nabokov put it. But they were stories first. At the University of Kansas I took a course titled \"Narration and Description.\" Not that I knew what those terms meant but I was curious to find out. It was taught by \"Staff.\"What I found out was that I could not contain myself with those two categories and in an early submission I branched out into scenes. My teacher (a Miss Staff) did not reprimand me for this, but pointed that \"scenes\" typically had two \"unities\" one of time and one of place. I had no idea what she meant. But since I had not been scolded, in my next submission, I not only had a scene but I introduced two characters who talked. Meanwhile the other students were dutifully writing narration and description: We walked from our dorm to Strong Hall where our class met and along the way we saw the cars on Jayhawk boulevard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11804978\"\u003eRobert Day\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Serving House Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 1.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947175341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1947175343\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC029000\"\u003eShort Stories (single author)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Serving House Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42682993213677,"sku":"9781947175341","price":22.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_3cc89f0c-26f0-4586-b985-e8f94ec10e31.jpg?v=1649733298","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/robert-day-the-collected-short-stories-9781947175341","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
