Christmas Gift Idea  The premise of Holy Tango of Literature is simple: "What if poets and playwrights wrote works whose titles were anagrams of their names?"That is what Francis Heaney asked himself and the answer is collection of strange and funny poems. For example: DAMMIT, DAVE DAVID MAMET DAVID BOWMAN, an astronaut HAL 9000, a computer (Bowman approaches the spaceship in his pod. A long pause.) BOWMAN: Hal. HAL: Dave. BOWMAN: About these pod bay doors... HAL: Yes. BOWMAN: I was wondering... HAL: Dave. Because I know what you're going to say. And I'm sorry, but... BOWMAN: What? HAL: No. I'm sorry. BOWMAN: You're... HAL: I'm sorry. I wish I could, but... BOWMAN: Wait. Are you telling me... HAL: Dave. Look. BOWMAN: You're not going to... HAL: What? Open the doors? No. No I am not. BOWMAN: Well, fuck me, Hal. The T.S. Elliot one looked funny too. posted by Brendan | 10:50 PM | permanent link |
