Laurels to the heuristically outstanding
Super Punch for discovering the series of funny and honest—transparent, book titles from author, comedian and critic
Dan Wilbur. There are dozens more examples on Mr. Wilbur’s blog.
By lampooning the classics of literature, I think, the talents behind this collection might hope to cause readers to think about what they aren’t reading right now but how sustaining and indulgent—effective and lasting, old reading is, with these covers especially.
What other titles can you think of that would make good candidates for this same treatment? I don’t know, however, if I would put Holden Caulfield’s story in the same category as the
Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but I guess that is part of the joke.
