Not Quite What I Was Planning Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obs cure
Larry Smith
When Ernest Hemingway famously wrote For Sale: baby shoes, never worn, he proved a whole story can be told in the short, short form. When SMITH Magazine asked readers to submit six-word memoirs, they proved a whole, real life can be told this way, too.
From bittersweet romance to gratifying divorce ( Found true love, married someone else ), religious faith to smoking crack ( Mormon economist marries feminist, worlds collide ), proud achievement to stinging regret ( Never really finished anything, except cake ), these true tales tell the diversity of human experience in strange, funny, scary, relatable, bite-sized pieces. Famous contributors include:
* Dave Eggers
* Aimee Mann
* Mario Batali
* Sebastian Junger
* Joyce Carol Oates
* Jonathan Lethem
* Elizabeth Gilbert
* Chuck Klosterman
* Daniel Handler
* And many more.
