The Big Shorts
Episode description
Despite the thick books that win awards and hearts, bigger isn’t always better. In this episode, Supriya and Deepanjana discuss the significance of slim volumes, books that look like bite-sized snacks but have all the complexity of a tasting menu. From literary experiments to rallying calls to activism, the best of slim volumes should occupy pride of place on your bookshelf and they’ll tell you why. The chapbook, the novella, and single essays – explore these small wonders with us, discover how less can sometimes mean so much more, and stay for recommendations.
