Re: JCO: Re: Black Water

Completely off topic, and maybe a little pedantic, but I wonder why Black
Water is usually listed as one of JCO's novels rather than one of her
book-length novellas (e.g. Triumph of the Spider Monkey, Beasts, First Love,
Rape: A Love Story)? It's no longer than they are (about 30,000 words or so,
by my estimate) which makes it a novella to my eyes.
