I fully agree with this. For example, (and then listed
several authors)
Don't forget Donald Westlake in the 1960s. As himself and
Richard Stark,
he produced 2 to 4 novels a year, all of them under about 200
pages.
This went for both his early, hardboiled novels and his
later, comic
novels. Westlake didn't really start to write long until the
mid to late
1970s. Since then, he's done some long ones and some short
ones, but I
think he's pretty good at not padding the pages and letting
the story
come out at the length it should.
