So it seems to me that my other favorite SF/F novelists (Wolfe, John M Ford, Willis, Swanwick, Beagle, Tolkien, Zelazny) have significant short story oeuvres. I thought John Crowley (H. Bloom: "only Philip Roth consistently writes on Crowley's level") was an exception, perhaps because _Novelties_ left no impression on me, but he's coming out with his third collection of shorter works this year (and Ford and Wolfe have collections on the way soon). So why is it that SKZB has so few short works?
