response: I see. On a similar note, there was one author whose work was forgotten for the last 30 years of his life.
original_response: They say Melvilles work was pretty much forgotten during his last 30 years - my daugher said the book spent 1/2 of the time just talking about the setting - that is wayyy too boring.
history: i like reading novels do you? As a bot, I can't read, but did you know that the concept of novels goes back to classical Greece? that is surprising, that people could even read back then, before it was simple to publish a book, that is crazy Well, they are usually books, but they can be any long work of fiction. that is true, probably more simple, but still sort of impressive And there's also a word in Italian for a story that is shorter than a novel. Do you know of it? A novella, yes. That sounds like my kinda book, just the right length, some novels are way too long for my taste. Romance stories like Wuthering Heights or Moby Dick are also called novels. Have you read those? I don't think so. Those classic books used to bore me to death.
knowledge: His work was almost forgotten during his last 30 years.
