It All Changed in an Instant: More Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure

The New York Times bestseller Not Quite What I Was Planning made six-word memoirs an international phenomenon, as people around the world shared terse true tales of romance, parenthood, friendship, ambition, failure, haircuts, and french fries. Thanks to massive media attention-from NPR, The New Yorker, and Vanity Fair to the CBS Early Show, Entertainment Weekly, and USA Today-the six-word memoir concept spread to classrooms, dinner tables, churches, synagogues, and tens of thousands of blogs.

Deceptively simple and surprisingly addictive, It All Changed in an Instant contains a thousand (more) glimpses of humanity from writers famous and obscure, including Wally Lamb, Isabel Allende, James Frey, Ann Coulter, Tommy Chong, and Chelsea Handler-six words at a time.
