Which author had the heaviest brain? What was the original title of "1984"? When did cigarettes first appear in English literature? And, while we're at it, who wrote the first Western, and is there any link between asthma and literary genius? Sutherland's irreverent literary exploration illuminates every topic imaginable from author advances to Civil War literature to Victorian sex to odd things eaten by literary characters (think Patrick Bateman's girlfriend in "American Psycho"). This is a treasure trove of fascinating information for all book lovers.

Review:
A fascinating anthology of booky facts (Daily Express)

This bibliophile's almanac covers such oddities as literature's first fast-food meal and the link between literary talent and asthma. Those erudite enough to keep up with Prof Sutherland will find it fascinating (Sunday Telegraph)

A selection of literary tidbits...this consistently amusing book is a donnish delight (Daily Telegraph)
Book Description:
One of our foremost critics tours some of the more arcane byways of literature
