Title Search

As you may know, I'm working on a book. As of yet, it has no title. The contract refers, I believe, to The Untitled Matthew Yglesias Foreign Policy Project, which is pretty cool. Sam Rosenfeld suggests IRL a mashup of that idea with Ezra's proposal for Jonah Goldberg and release The Matthew Yglesias Foreign Policy Project: A Very Serious, Thoughtful Argument that has Never Been Made in Such Detail or with Such Care. I'll let you know when to start the preordering.

Can you put a picture of the Doughy Pantload with a Hitler mustache on the front? That thing would fly off the shelves.

I'd like to suggest "War and Peace" for your title, but I can't.

Posted by: Jeffrey Davis on March 22, 2007 02:27 PM

DJ Moonbat,
Don't forget, you have to mention Doughy Pantload or some other wingnut in the title. MY will have to retitle it(as an example): "The Matthew Yglesias Foreign Policy Project: A Very Serious, Thoughtful Argument that has Never Been Made in Such Detail or with Such Care or how Jonah Goldberg is in bed with the Islamofascists"

It's got to be named this, Matthew. Please?

Sounds like an especially smart progressive rock band. ;)

Sure, you can. Even if you could copyright a title (you can't), Tolstoy's been dead a long time.

Posted by: dj moonbat on March 22, 2007 02:32 PM

You to B&N clerk: Where can I find "War and Peace"?
B&N clerk to you: the Tolstoy one or the Yglesias one?

Yeah, that'll happen!

Posted by: Al on March 22, 2007 02:37 PM

So true, Al. Once Matt's finished, nobody will even remember the Tolstoy one.

Posted by: dj moonbat on March 22, 2007 02:39 PM

I actually thought the one right below it was even better.

Posted by: JP on March 22, 2007 02:40 PM

If you could convince your graphic designers working on the cover to include the Hitler Mustache of X-Treme Seriousness and Thoughtfulness, that would be awesome.

Posted by: Ted Barlow on March 22, 2007 02:43 PM

If you use that title everyone will asssume it has something to do with McSweeney's.

Posted by: BZA on March 22, 2007 02:47 PM

War and Peace, Bitches? To avoid the confusion, although the arrogance of appropriating the original title is admirable.

Posted by: Chris on March 22, 2007 02:50 PM

I think the title suggested by Jackmormon was awesome.

Absent that, the title should include some wisdom from Outkast.

Posted by: Nick Kaufman on March 22, 2007 02:56 PM

Second Gregory on the band name.

Posted by: Anderson on March 22, 2007 02:58 PM

Like Taking That Thang Out: A Very Serious, Thoughtful Argument that has Never Been Made in Such Detail or with Such Care. I'd buy it.

I'm with Beaudrot. Avoid teh Title: Longer Subtitle formulation if you possibly can. The great Charles Tilly used to boast of never having published a book with a subtitle, along with never serving in a professional association or chaired a department. A good example to follow.

Posted by: Mac on March 22, 2007 09:41 PM

I seem to remember John Cleese going on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and presenting clips from something which I think was called The Association of Gentlemen Who Enjoy To Do Very Scary Things Together. And the clip would be something like a guy playing a piano which was on sliding down a mountain on skis. The piano player got more and more into his performance as the piano built up speed until eventually it hit the moguls and you saw the guy go flying and the piano shatter into an explosion of flying keys. Anyway, your title reminded me of John Cleese and that made me smile. I say keep it.

If Jonah Goldberg doesn't stop fucking saying "serious"

Posted by: Mike on March 22, 2007 11:47 PM

The obvious source of Serious Foreign Policy Book titles (also: names for your dog) is here.

I suggest

What Are The Civilian Applications
I Said, I've Got A Big Stick
Very Little Gravitas Indeed
Frank Exchange Of Views
Congenital Optimist
Ethics Gradient
Synchronise Your Dogmas
The Ends of Invention
Unfortunate Conflict Of Evidence
Irregular Apocalypse
Shoot Them Later

and so on...

Posted by: ajay on March 23, 2007 06:28 AM

I've been inspired by the best title ever. Thanks to Jackmormon and JP for linking to it. When i finished laughing, I created the cover art for Matt's book. Now all we need are the pages Yglesias...

Posted by: Matthew on March 23, 2007 07:26 AM

Karl, I'm pretty sure that was Graham Chapman, not Cleese.

Posted by: Mac on March 23, 2007 12:03 PM

I'd like to reiterate my suggestion on Unfogged of "The Mineshaft Gap: Deterrence and Delusion in a Post-Cold War World".

Posted by: ajay on March 23, 2007 12:12 PM

Don't just stop at the title. For help on selecting a cover image for your book take a hint from this man.
