So how accurate is the GOT PAID BY THE CHAPTER meme that seems to dog Dickens?

Is his work really pointlessly overly long? I was thinking of picking up Oliver Twist.

He got paid per installment.

Dickens was probably a hack who lengthened his work, but he's a very talented hack. Oliver Twist is short and accessible and you might enjoy it.
