Ungeheuer <br /><br /> <cite>Ungeheuer wrote short stories. Very short stories. Some are no more than a couple of sentences. The longest of them barely fills a half dozen pages. Ungeheuer explained his penchant for short short fiction in an interview with Jared Green in 1970:</cite> <blockquote>"There's something enigmatic about the economy of these short pieces. Something about the lack of context that forces the reader to fill in the larger picture. I don't care about plotting a story, characterization or setting. I'm looking for a feeling, an instant in time. An uncomfortable floating instant, with no sense of anything that may have come to pass before it."</blockquote> tag:metafilter.com,2004:site.30696 Mon, 12 Jan 2004 18:39:48 -0800 fiction KUngeheur literature shortstories Ungeheuer tenseone
