"ACE DADDY, GYM RAT, BALZOLAN REPORTER, PH.D"

As we consider the memoir, why don't we consider the brevity?

Recently, a group of well-known authors, artists, musicians and others were asked to write their own 7 word memoir and here is the result.

Naturally, when you ask rebels of art to do something, they often find a twist or break a rule. See here how many refused to adhere to the '7 word limit' (many over, at least one under, and one–John Irving–who dared to try on memoirs of others, such as Dickens and Melville.)

Enjoy!
