THE HEMINGWAY CHALLENGE
Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was challenged to write a story in just six words. The result: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Hemingway regarded it as his greatest work.
Hemingway’s six word story and self-critique have never been verified but what is irrefutable is that great stories can be told in 60,000 words or just six.
Six Word Story Every Day is a collaboration between Van Horgen, writer, and Anne Ulku, designer. It is a storytelling exploration through language and typography posted every day in 2010.
