Hemingway's Six-Word Sequel
Publishers begged Hemingway's estate for a sequel to his famous six-word story. After decades of searching through his archives, scholars found a note that read: 'Wrote sequel. Too long. Deleted five words.' Attached was a single sheet of paper containing just one word: 'Sold.' Literary critics have since written 47,000 pages of analysis debating whether it refers to the shoes, the author's soul, or simply his bar tab.
