Boiling it down
Christian Century, May 20, 2008
> BOILING IT DOWN: Taking its cue from a six-word story by Ernest Hemingway ("For sale: baby shoes, never worn"), the online magazine Smith has published a book of six-word memoirs that were originally submitted for a contest. A chef wrote, "Brought it to a boil, often." A female singer: "Couldn't cope, so I wrote songs." A graffiti artist: "Wasn't noticed so I painted trains." And someone grimly wrote, "Alive 38 years, feels like 83" (reviewed in the Christian Science Monitor, April 22).
