Six Words on the Jewish Life - A Live Storytelling Show
Sorry!
No performances are currently available.
Who would have thought that years after Hemingway’s legendary challenge to write a novel in six words—"For sale: baby shoes, never worn"— Papa would have unintentionally created one of the hottest modern literary trends?
In 2006, SMITH Magazine gave the six-word story a personal twist, calling it the Six-Word Memoir. Now, after more than half a million Six-Word Memoirs on SMITHmag.net and a bestselling book series, SMITH Magazine, the Jewish cultural mavens at Reboot and LimmudNY celebrate the book release of Oy! Only Six? Why Not More? — Six-Word Memoirs on Jewish Life with a live storytelling show.
Elizabeth Wurtzel (author, Prozac Nation), Jane Shore (award-winning poet), Deborah Copaken Kogan (author, Shutterbabe), Rachel Sklar (founding editor, Mediaite), Piper Kerman (author, Orange is the New Black), Lynn Harris (author, Death By Chick Lit), Anthony Giglio (The Wine Wise Guy) and David Wolkin (executive director of Limmud NY) will start with a Six-Word Memoir and then reveal the backstory in six minutes. At the show’s end, the audience is invited to share a Six-Word Memoir during a “Six-Word Slam.”
This event is co-presented with SMITH Magazine, Reboot and LimmudNY.
