The Paris Review blog recently posted this really funny piece written by author Shalom Auslander about how he chose the name for his new book, Hope: A Tragedy. Some of the titles considered: The Diary of Anne Frankenstein, Nowhere Ho, and The Sea. More hilarious is Shalom’s recounting of why they were picked, and eventually rejected. Also, very funny if you know any editors. *Wink Wink*

Also, Foreskin’s Lament is an amazing book title.
