Talk:List of novellas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Clockwork Orange

According to the definition at novella, A Clockwork Orange is too long to be considered a novella. It is 192 pages whereas novellas are a maximum of around 100. So I have removed it RoyBatty42 04:49, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Collections

The this article is a list of notable novellas, not a list of collections. Hence I removed these two entries:

• Sermons and Soda Water (1960) John O'Hara -- a collection of novellas
• Transgressions (2005) a collection of novellas by various authors edited by Ed McBain

I moved the The Decameron to the novella series section.

In addition, I broke down the two Stephen King collections (Different Seasons and Four Past Midnight) to show the actual novellas. HOWEVER - I think this should also be expunged and only the novellas themselves be listed. But that should follow a general purge of this entire article. It supposed to be notable novellas, but seems more like every novella people could come up with. But, I will leave that for further debate. RoyBatty42 04:49, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Order

Looks as though they may have started in title order; would date order be better ? GrahamHardy (talk) 14:28, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
