Piper Kerman: Six-Word Memoir on Jewish Life

"Bad news, but it's not cancer."

Inspired by Ernest Hemingway's legendary shortest of short stories, "For sale: baby shoes, never worn," SMITH Magazine founder Larry Smith challenged readers to describe their lives in six words. In a special event at The Contemporary Jewish Museum, Piper Kerman (Orange Is the New Black) presents her Six-Word Memoir on Jewish Life.
