The First Six, a collection of six rather short stories, gives the fiction behind the fact of six firsts: the first nighttime baseball game, street food vendor, escalator, female execution, creedless church, and statue made in honor of an insect.But it's not the facts that stand out. (They should never get in the way of a good story anyway—right?) What is memorable is the fiction surrounding The First Six facts.Why subtitle the book "A collection of six rather short stories"? Because all six of them don't even manage to hit the 6,000-word mark. Small but powerful. That, unlike the stories, is not a first.
