Micro Memoirs: A Reading

Larry Smith‘s Six Words Fresh Off the Boat: Stories of Immigration, Identity, and Coming to America, marries the phenomenon of Larry Smith’s successful Six-Word Memoirs with ABC and 20th Century Fox Television’s hit comedy Fresh Off the Boat. The 52 micro-memoirs in Beth Ann Fennelly‘s genre-defying Heating & Cooling offer bright glimpses into a richly lived life, combining the compression of poetry with the truth-telling of nonfiction into one heartfelt, celebratory book.
