Book Description
"Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in six words. Papa came back swinging with ""For sale: baby shoes, never worn."" Some say he called it his best work. Others dismiss the anecdote as a literary folktale. Either way, the six-word story was born...
The editors of SMITH magazine, an online publication that celebrates personal storytelling through technology, issued the following challenge in November 2006:
Write your memoir...in six words.
They received thousands of submissions, and collected a bunch of them in this book. Some authors are famous, but most aren't. Some stories will make you nod your head in agreement, and some will have you shaking your head in amazement. Pick up the book for just a minute, and be astonished at how long you stand there reading it."
