First, let me say that I’ll bet no one else ever used this title for a blog entry before today. But Ira Sukrungruang, author of What If? in Brevity 24 and Chop Suey in Brevity 19, has a new blog, The Clever Title, which he describes thusly: The Clever Title devours books like a malnourished medieval beast. The Clever Title is not concerned with craft or criticism. It cares not about literary elitism or academic jargon. The Clever Title reads because it knows there are mysteries of the underworld left to discover. The Clever Title loves the written word the way children love their ragged blankies. The Clever Title relishes those moments cuddled on the couch, sitting under the oak on campus, sipping a cappuccino in a cafe, the bent spine of a book in hand. The Clever Title reads to understand and discover humanity, the self, the natural world, and the mysteries that lie beneath the couch cushions.
We describe it this way: interesting book discussions. And fun.
That’s The Clever Title, coming to a computer screen near you.
