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.

A Prayer for Owen Meany    

THE FOUL BALL
I AM DOOMED to
remember a boy with a
wrecked voice-not because of
his voice, or because he was
the smallest person I ever
knew, or even because he was
the instrument of my mother's
death, but because he is the
reason I believe in God; I am
a Christian because of Owen
Meany. I make no claims to
have a life in Christ, or with
Christ-and certainly not for
Christ, which I've heard some
zealots claim. I'm not very
sophisticated in my
knowledge of the Old
Testament, and I've not read
the New Testament since my
Sunday school days, except
for those passages that I hear
read aloud to me when I go to
church. I'm somewhat more
familiar with the passages
from the Bible that appear in
The Book of Common
Prayer; I read my prayer book
often, and my Bible only on
holy days-the prayer book is
so much more orderly.
I've always been a pretty
regular churchgoer. I used to
be a Congregationalist-I was
baptized in the
Congregational Church, and
after some years of fraternity
with Episcopalians (I was
confirmed in the Episcopal
Church, too), I became rather
vague in my religion: in my
teens I attended a "nondenominational" church.
Then I became an Anglican;
the Anglican Church of
Canada has been my churchever since I left the United
States, about twenty years
ago.
