I'm a failed poet. Maybe every novelist wants to write poetry first, finds he can't and then tries the short story which is the most demanding form after poetry. And failing at that, only then does he turn to the novel.
Time present and time past are both perhaps present in time future, and time future contained in time past.
Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners.
