Compression: Paul Weidknecht
“I believe the component of compression in my short fiction is expressed by combining a base of mimimal information—a setting and a character in conflict—with a vocation or emotional state, allowing the reader to explore some aspect of life with which they might not have been familiar. Regarding compressed fiction, I feel it is necessary for the writer to present precise words in order to let the reader fill in the rest of the story.” — Paul Weidknecht
