Now All We Need Is a Title by Andre Bernard
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.
