In this passage, written in 1925, writer Edith Wharton distinguishes between subjects suitable for short stories and those suitable for novels. 

It is sometimes said that a good subject for a short story should always be capable of being expanded into a novel. 

It would be a great mistake, however, to try to base a hard-and-fast theory on the denial of the rule as on its assertion. Instances of short stories made out of subjects that could have been expanded into a... 

There are cases, indeed, when the short story may make use of the moral drama at its culmination. If the incident dealt with be one which a single retrospective flash sufficiently lights up, it is qualified for use (33) as a short story but if the subject be so complex, and its successive phases so interesting, as to justify elaboration, the lapse of time must necessarily be suggested, and the novel-form becomes appropriate. 

The effect of compactness and instantaneity sought in the short story is attained mainly by the observance of two unities —the old (40) traditional one of time, and that other, more modern and complex, which requires that any rapidly enacted episode shall be seen through only one pair of eyes.

Descriptions and anecdotes are effective evidence—especially in essays about people— because they help the reader form a picture that illuminates your ideas.

Despite Proust s serpentine sentences, many people do revere his work and use his name as a symbol of genius. Woody Allen s short story The Whore of Mensa describes a man who craves the company of a brilliant sexy woman. The man says that he can meet all the bimbos in the world, but what he really wants is a young woman who, for a price, will come to his bedroom to discuss Proust with him ... 

Advances also often come in two parts, half upon signing the book contract, the other half upon acceptance of the final manuscript or publication of the book. This two-stage advance has led to interesting speculation about the prolific American short-story writer O. Henry. He was a master of surprise endings and often wrote about the life of ordinary people in New York City. The New York World paid him 100 for each of his stories, but because O. Henry did not always deliver his story by the deadline, his editor made sure only to pay half of the advance for the first half of the story and refused to pay the rest until the entire story was received. Some critics have said that this led to O. Henry stories with the second half nearly unrelated to the first Apparently, O. Henry sometimes rushed out anything he could for the first half of the story just to get the 50 and then ignored much of what he had written when completing the tale.
