Adrianne Aron

Cribbed from my website --adriannearon.com--is this complete, unexpurgated autobiography in 66words:

The midwife called it Feisty, I called it Determined;

The pediatrician called it Teething, I called it Mad;

At childcare they called it Crabby, I called it Tired;

In school they called it Impudent, I called it Bored;

The professor called it Insolent, I called it Insulted;

The supervisor called it Insubordinate, I called it Creative;

The geriatrician calls it Disinhibited Irritability, I call it Liberation.

I've fallen in love with brevity. My newest book, HUMAN RIGHTS AND WRONGS, is told in little stories, all true, all meaningful, and all short. If you read between the lines the book is twice as long. But no need. It's all there. Like me: short, meaningful, and true.
