What makes poetry the most demanding form? Wouldn't you think novel writing is harder due to length and precision of concept?

Novels are not elegant in his view. There's too much filler and digressions. Borges didn't like that. He didn't have the personality and approach to literature to write a novel.

>I am not talking about change due to your own lack of understanding, hence my mention of ambiguities.
I'm talking about finding different details in each reading. Not about lack of understanding.
>Short stories are not more difficult to write
Yes, they are and one of the GOAT novelists agrees. In a novel you can just go on and on without caring for the space restriction.
>Look at all the novels which took 5 to 10 years to write, hell there are some that took decades, you are over simplifying.
They were made over the course of 5 to 10 years, but they didn't take 5 to 10 years to write. Gass wasted like three decades of his life writing The Tunnel and his novel is dogshit and a hundred times worse than Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury, which took a few years to write. You don't necessarily "get what you put in."

When did you realize prose is inherently inferior to verse?
