Saunders has some very interesting points for writing a story. One of his points was to keep it short and sweet. DFW does this very thing in his story that he wrote about the attacks on 9/11. While we are listening to the story, we notice little details that he describes and he makes it like we are actually experiencing the event in the home with him. He makes the story short but the point and the message comes across very clear and he leaves you wanting to know more about the story.
I can use this technique in my own writing. If the story is good and it is detailed like DFW's were but still short, the message will be conveyed and it will leave the reader's wanting more.
