Sometimes I think it's too compact and needs to be opened up so it's more accessible. Bearing in mind that really great-selling fiction tends to be considerably more floppy--you can skim large chunks and still get the story.
Or, to put it another way, when it comes to the large majority of readers, do the words get in the way? Is a writer better off with less craft, more story, and more transparency in the style?
