“You can snuggle down into novels, draw them over your head like a warm duvet and go away for a while. It’s like taking a road trip in another country – while the land’s got you in it’s clutches, you can’t go home again. Short stories are different. They’re evenings out, or day trips, an hour spent gazing out to sea.”
