Será a novela o género mais adequado aos nossos dias?

Será a novela o género literário que mais se adequa aos nossos dias (não obstante a preferência dos editores continuar a ir para as obras de maior fôlego)?

Readable in a couple of hours, a novella demands far less time than a full-length novel: you can get through them in the same amount of time it takes to watch a film or two reality television programmes. If you read one in bed you can actually finish it in one go, as opposed to reading the same few chapters repeatedly because you keep forgetting what you covered the night before.
