If you’re in the New York area, stop by the Brooklyn Book Festival on Sunday. Larry and I are chatting about the Six-Word Memoirs phenom
that inspired and launched projects cross the word. We’ll be found at the South Stage, 3pm. But stick around before and after to soak up all the Brooklyn litness: from Jonathan Franzen to Terry McMllian, there will be dozens of terrific writers to see, as well, and booths to visit all day long. Looking for a conversation starter? try, “So what’s your six-word memoir?” Trust us, it always works. (Shameless plug: stop by the Housing Works Bookstore table for all your book-buying needs.)
