"They shot the white girl first." That's how Toni Morrison's novel, Paradise, begins, and it's a great example of an irresistible first line. Martha shares others sent in by listeners. She also reads from a Michael Cunningham essay about why a first line must be authoritative. This is part of a complete episode.
