Short-short-short-short story

In the online version of a short story by David Hoon Kim in the June 11 New Yorker, a little sidebar lists "keywords" for the story:
Keywords: Paris, France; Love Affairs; Asians; College Students; Danish; Japanese; Suicides.
One hardly needs to read the story at all. It reminds me of the famous line in Nabokov's "Lolita": "My very photogenic mother died in a freak accident (picnic, lightning) when I was three."

Writing strictly in keywords would certainly help us meet those pesky deadlines!
