Ron Rosenbaum is one of the contributors to a new anthology called Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure. “I think you can figure out the gimmick easily enough from the title,” he wrote on his blog a couple of weeks ago. “But it wasn’t easy! Try coming up with six words to sum up the rich pageant of your life, the ups and downs, the loves and losses.” Here’s how his attempt went: “Explained Hitler, Shakespeare. Couldn’t explain self.” Not bad.
Here’s mine: “Small town, big city. Damned lucky.”
Over to you, OGIC and CAAF.
