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?
