(I should knock wood and go тьфу-тьфу-тьфу right now since I've sometimes been wrong about "promising"!)<br /><br />I'm glad to see the OED entry on "prosode." And even gladder to hear what you say about the Gorbunova book, both that you recommend it and that it tends toward "novel in stories." I looked up <a href="http://languagehat.com/?s=Gorbunova" rel="nofollow">your post</a>, which clued me in as to why Gorbunova's name and the book title sounded so familiar! Lisa C.

I highly recommend the Gorbunova book, which is more of a "novel in stories" than a story collection.<br /><br /><i>I so want “prosode” to be a word!</i><br /><br />It is... barely!
