Synopsis
Who can forget those immortal novels "First Impressions", "The Kingdom by the Sea", "Trimalchio in West Egg", "My Valley", "Pansy", "The Second Murderer", "Tom-All-Alone's the Ruined House"...? Would "The Ancient Mariner" have been so successful if it had been called "The Old Sailor"? Andre Bernard has researched the stories behind more than a hundred of the most famous titles in the English language to produce a fascinating volume rich in anecdote and publishing lore. (Joseph Heller's first novel was titled "Catch-18" until the publishers of Leon Uris's "Mila-18" protested and so "Catch-22" entered our language. William L. Shirer's (ex) editor pleaded "Please God, don't ask us to publish a book called "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich""). From "Vanity Fair" to "Under Milk Wood", "Now All We Need is a Title" is a wonderful romp among the literary monuments.
