A novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, normally written in prose form, and which is typically published as a book. The present English word for a long work of prose fiction derives from the Italian novella for "new", "news", or "short story of something new", itself from the Latin novella, a singular noun use of the neuter plural of novellus, diminutive of novus, meaning "new". Walter Scott made a distinction between the novel, in which (as he saw it) "events are accommodated to the ordinary train of human events and the modern state of society" and the romance, which he defined as "a fictitious narrative in prose or verse; the interest of which turns upon marvellous and uncommon incidents". However, many such romances, including the historical romances of Scott, Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights and Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, are also frequently called novels, and Scott describes romance as a "kindred term". This sort of romance is in turn different from the genre fiction love romance or romance novel
A short story is a piece of prose fiction that typically can be read in one sitting and focuses on a self-contained incident or series of linked incidents, with the intent of evoking a "single effect" or mood.

A dictionary definition is "an invented prose narrative shorter than a novel usually dealing with a few characters and aiming at unity of effect and often concentrating on the creation of mood rather than plot."

The short story is a crafted form in its own right. Short stories make use of plot, resonance, and other dynamic components as in a novel, but typically to a lesser degree. While the short story is largely distinct from the novel or novella (a shorter novel), authors generally draw from a common pool of literary techniques.

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian    

The Black-Eye-of-the-Month Club
I was born with water on the brain.
Okay, so that's not exactly true. I was actually born with too much cerebral spinal fluid inside my
skull. But cerebral spinal fluid is just the doctors' fancy way of saying brain grease.
And brain grease works inside the lobes like car grease works inside an engine. It keeps things
running smooth and fast. But weirdo me, I was born with too much grease inside my skull, and it got
all thick and muddy and disgusting, and it only mucked up the works. My thinking and breathing and
living engine slowed down and flooded.
My brain was drowning in grease.
But that makes the whole thing sound weirdo and funny, like my brain was a giant
French fry, so it seems more serious and poetic and accurate to say, "I was born with water on the
brain."
Okay, so maybe that's not a very serious way to say it, either. Maybe the whole thing is weird and
funny.
But jeez, did my mother and father and big sister and grandma and cousins and aunts and uncles think
it was funny when the doctors cut open my little skull and sucked out all that extra water with some
tiny vacuum?
I was only six months old and I was supposed to croak during the surgery. And even if I somehow
survived the mini-Hoover, I was supposed to suffer serious brain damage during the procedure and
live the rest of my life as a vegetable.
Well, I obviously survived the surgery. I wouldn't be writing this if I didn't, but I have all sorts of
physical problems that are directly the result of my brain damage.
First of all, I ended up having forty-two teeth. The typical human has thirty-two, right?
But I had forty-two.
Ten more than usual.
Ten more than normal.
Ten teeth past human.
My teeth got so crowded that I could barely close my mouth. I went to Indian Health
Service to get some teeth pulled so I could eat normally, not like some slobbering vulture. But the
Indian Health Service funded major dental work only once a year, so I had to have all ten extra teeth
pulled in one day.
And what's more, our white d
