The Iceberg Theory "A few things I have found to be true. If you leave out important things or events that you know about, the story is strengthened. If you leave or skip something because you do not know it, the story will be worthless. The test of any story is how very good the stuff that you, not your editors, omit.” – Hemingway, ”Art of the Short Story”
“In their tight coats and derby hats they looked like a vaudeville team.” (‘The Killers’)
‘The ten-year period that, as if reluctant to die outmoded in its bed, leaped to a spectacular death in October, 1929. . .’ (‘Echoes of the Jazz Age’, Fitzgerald, 1931)
