Default Clever Staggers

There's quite a nice comp in The New Statesman this week. You submit the titles of books amended to make them sound more intellectual 'The Mind in the Willows' is the example given.

Where to and when? I didn't get time to find out. I'll look again, or one of you lefties out there who gets the NS can post that.

I thought of
Charles Dickens's 'Great Excogitations'
Patrick O'Brien's 'The Reverse of the Medulla'
Marina Lewycka's 'A Short History of Tractatuses in Ukrainian'
Dee Brown's 'Bury My Heart at Wounded Nietzsche'

and, of course, Arnold Bennett's wonderful comic novel, which the French call simply, 'Descartes'.
