"The short story demands our time and our attention. In return for these, it shows us our world and our own lives in ways we may not have seen them before, with freshness
compounded of new views of the familiar, and strangely familiar views of the new and
unknown. The short story forces us to participate in lives that were never lived, and it
enables us, through this participation, to recognize that our experience has meaning, both
because it is ours and because it is, in some mysterious way, common to all men"
(Lass and Tasman 9).
In your own words what is this quote saying about the power of short stories?
