 Per caso avete visto qualche sito che parli di short stories ?
Il più banale che mi viene in mente è
www.shortstories.com

 possibili.
Short stories are easy enough to find on the Internet, e.g. at
http://www.short-stories.co.uk/
http://www.americanliterature.com/SS/SSINDX.HTML
However, if I understand your plea for help correctly, you are looking
for articles or other material discussing the subject of short
stories. Finding these appears a little more difficult. Here is one:
QUOTE
SHORT STORY 
The term covers a wide variety of narratives—from stories in which the
main focus is on the course of events to studies of character, from
the "short short" story to extended and complex narratives such as
Thomas Mann's Death in Venice. Most often the short story is
restricted in character and situation and is concerned with creating a
single, dynamic effect. Its length usually falls between 2,000 and
10,000 words. Short stories date back to earliest times; they can be
found in the Bible, Gesta Romanorum of the Middle Ages, Boccaccio's
Decameron, and Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. The modern short story is
said to have begun in the 19th cent. with the works of Edgar Allan Poe
and Guy de Maupassant. Notable among the exponents of the form are
Henry James, O. Henry, E. T. A. Hoffmann, Chekhov, Kafka, D. H.
Lawrence, Katherine Mansfield, Sherwood Anderson, Ernest Hemingway,
Katherine Anne Porter, John O'Hara, Flannery O'Connor, J. D. Salinger,
John Cheever, John Updike, Donald Barthelme, and Raymond Carver.

Australian Short Story Writers in the Later Twentieth Century 
Later Twentieth Century Short Story Writers The 1960s saw a revival of
the short story in Australian literature. Many authors, especially
those dealing with protest themes and the new sexual and social
freedoms engendered by the hippie movement, had their work published
by new alternative presses such as Wild and Woolley in Sydney, Outback
in Melbourne and the University of Queensland Press. Many authors who
began their careers by writing short stories also wrote novels.
Included among these are Michael Wilding, Frank Moorehouse, Murray
Bail and Peter Carey. An experimental writer, Michael Wilding,
incorporates fantasy and surrealism in his work. His volumes of short
stories include Aspects of the Dying Process (1972), Scenic Drive
(1976) and The Phallic Forest (1978). His best known novel is Pacific
Highway (1982). Frank Moorhouse left a career in journalism to become
a full-time author in the 1970s. Many of his works involve a close
observation of suburban Australian society and its rituals. His works
include a volume of short stories Futility and Other Animals (1969),
The Electrical Experience (1974), and The Everlasting Secret Family
and Other Secrets (1980). Forty Seventeen (1988) won several awards.
His most recent major work was Grand Days (1993) set in Geneva during
the early days of the League of Nations. Murray Bail, art critic,
short story writer and novelist has an internationalist outlook
similar to that of Wilding. His work is full of literary and artistic
references. He is best known for his early stories republished as The
Drover's Wife and Other Stories (1984) and the novel Homesickness
(1980). Peter Carey, an award-winning writer, has had considerable
success with his short stories The Fat Man in History (1974) and War
Crimes (1979). His novels include Bliss (1981), with which he won the
Miles Franklin Award, Illywhacker (1985) and Oscar and Lucinda -
winner of the 1988 Booker Prize. His work contains realism, fantasy,
surrealism and some science fiction. Robert Drewe, author of short
stories, novels and plays such as South American Barbeque, combines
realism with black humour. Best known for his collection of stories in
The Bodysurfers (1983), his more recent works include Our Sunshine,
based on the legend of Ned Kelly, and an epic historical novel, The
Drowner (1996).
