Flash Fiction questions

  1. According to the author, how is the narrative form of the novel particularly suited to America?
  2. How does Mr. Faulkner define flash fiction?
  3. What is gained in “writing short”?
  4. What must each line of a short short story do?
  5. What do you think Mr. Faulkner means by “Such evocative, fragmentary brevity makes this Twitter and Facebook era perfect for flash fiction. Flash allows literature to be a part of our everyday life, even if we are strange multitasking creatures addled by a world that demands more, more, more”? Do you agree?

1) The narrative form of a novel is very detailed, and America has become accustomed to it.

2) Flash fiction was described as a story that is under 1000 words.

3) When “writing short” you have to use your creativity to see how short you can keep your story without losing story.

4) Each line of a flash story must carry symbolic weight.

5) Mr. Faulkner means to say that with Facebook and Twitter, these are perfect ways to show others your flash stories.
