The Diminutive Englishman I'm Married to and I were having a discussion about bad novel titles to be paired with the subtitle, A Novel. Like:
Coulda Been: A Novel
Not Really: A Novel
What Made You Think You Could Write: a Novel
and even fancier subtitles:
Oh Fuck: A Novel of the French Revolution
Nobody Wants to Buy: A Novel of Suburbia
Etc.
This perhaps is not so different from my favorite game, which I like to call Great Butts of Literature. I bet you can figure it out. Here, I'll go first:
