In a column for SmokeLong’s “Why Flash Fiction?” series, author Anne Weisgerber compares writing flash fiction to painting:
I realized I could craft flash miniatures that added up to something bigger if I intended them to, like dabs in a Seurat painting. In this way, my reader at novel distance will see the rose window, hear the orchestra, experience the video wall of calibrated gifs but within scenes, each pane, each cellist, each meme stands alone.
