response: And there's also a word in Italian for a story that is shorter than a novel. Do you know of it?
original_response: And of course there is a novella which is a bit shorter than a novel but longer than a short-story.

knowledge: The latter, an Italian word for a short story to distinguish it from a novel, has been used in English since the 18th century for a work that falls somewhere in between.
