Piper Kerman - Oy! Only Six? Why Not More? - Six-Word Memoirs on the Jewish Life

In 2006, SMITH Magazine gave Ernest Hemingway’s legendary six-word story (“For sale: baby shoes, never worn”) a personal twist, calling it the Six-Word Memoir.

Now, SMITH Magazine presents a series of storytelling shows at 92Y. Our panelists each start with a Six-Word Memoir, then reveal the back story in six minutes. At the show’s end, everyone is invited to share their own Six- Word Memoir during a “Six Word Slam.”
