Opening lines are NOT meant to ground us, secure the narrative perspective, or set the bloody scene.

It's all about the tone.

“The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.”

Another remarkable first line from the creator of the word “cyberspace” (and my favorite author).

—William Gibson “Nueromancer”

“Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.”

One of the best known, most beautiful, and remarkable opening lines in literature.

Well, here’s a great opening line!

“Once a week, I chase men who are not my husband.”

Just started reading Paris by the Book by Liam Callanan, and that’s how it opens. Who could possibly not keep reading after that?
