This essay investigates the practice of microfiction, from six-word stories to narratives of only a few hundred words. Through examples from Brown, Campanile, Aub, Delerm, and others, it highlights mechanisms of brevity, surprise, and reader participation. The study shows how these minimal forms, situated between literature and play, can serve not only artistic purposes but also educational, social, and psychological functions.

Abstract

This essay investigates the practice of microfiction, from six-word stories to narratives of only a few hundred words. Through examples from Brown, Campanile, Aub, Delerm, and others, it highlights mechanisms of brevity, surprise, and reader participation. The study shows how these minimal forms, situated between literature and play, can serve not only artistic purposes but also educational, social, and psychological functions.
