Six word memoirs!
It started as a contest: “Your life story in six words.” Now, it’s a book.
“The editors have culled the best. And, happily, spliced in celebrity autobiographies: ‘Canada freezing. Gotham beckons. Hello, Si!’ ‘Well, I thought it was funny.’ ‘Couldn’t cope so I wrote songs.’ (Graydon Carter, Stephen Colbert, Aimee Mann.) Mario Batali makes a memorable appearance: ‘Brought it to a boil, often.’ So does Jimmy Wales, of Wikipedia: ‘Yes, you can edit this biography.’”
