Question

novella n.短篇故事；中篇小说 (1) 我第一次读这篇短篇小说是在初中的时候。(2) 马丁称这是一部相当有可读性的中篇小说。 You've surely heard of plays, poems, short stories, and novels. But novellas? They're not as well known, but pretty simple: nothing more than short novels. Sometimes novellas are called novelettes, but whatever you call them, you'll probably read a few in English class. Sometimes it's easier to squeeze in a novella than a whole novel, so maybe you could start with Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" or Franz Kafka's "Metamorphosis."
