Babel on Tolstoy

Isaac Babel said that Tolstoy, “was able to describe what happened to him minute by minute, he remembered it all, whereas I evidently, only have it in me to describe the most interesting five minutes I’ve experienced in twenty-four hours. Hence the short-story form.”

Nothing against Babel. All I got going for me is my blog.
