Short books—like novellas, standalone short stories, and poetry collections—are finally getting their due. What took so long?
. Though “success” is notoriously unquantifiable in book publishing—an industry that does not keep centralised sales records—Raissan defines it broadly as “readers coming to the book and really loving it,” critical acclaim, or awards consideration. “Those books have really kind of accomplished all three, which is sometimes quite rare,” Raissan said.
It would be reductive to say “slim volumes” are a trend in the way of vampires or cannibals or Sally Rooney imitators. Instead, it’s notable that readers everywhere—fatigued by the attention economy—are finally paying attention. “It's the fact that some love is going to the slim volume now as well,” Kleeman said. “That instead of something feeling ‘slight’ because it's short, we can appreciate the intensity of it and the luxury that is concision.
