Get Well Soon, Salman

[Mark Kohut]

We know Pynchon met with him, even had a meal, right? Some kind of pen pal
friends, maybe?

An anecdote that keeps coming back to me as I cannot help but turn my mind
to him as I otherwise live my privileged life. He and a
band of writers, the word-soaked, erudite kind, like Burgess, maybe McEwan,
can't remember more, used to hang out and play
a word game they made up........

Retitle a classic as if rewritten by a famous bestselling genre writer.
Salman was the quickest and best at this.

Examples were given but the only one I can remember is that Salman almost
instantly answered
to "Hamlet by Robert Ludlum"

The Elsinore Connection.

There are all kinds of skills of genius.
