Alas, Lucy Maud Montgomery has been usurped. The former best chapter title in the English language -- "Matthew insists on puffed sleeves" -- has been trounced by the title of the ninth chapter in Michael Chabon's Gentlemen of the Road:

"On the Anxieties Arising from the Impermissibility, However Unreasonable, of an Elephant's Rounding Out a Prayer Quorum."

No one tell Prince Edward Island. They'll be devastated.

I dunno. I'm still a big fan of "I Sink to my Neck in the Ooze of the Rungwa" from Stanley's How I Found Livingston.

That is funny, but I still think the idea of elephant being seriously considered as a possible necessary tenth in the evening prayers of a group of ultra-observant Radhanites Jews still produces a more evocative image.

Although "Matthew insists on puffed sleeves" will always hold a special place in my heart. ^_^

True enough -- and it still really has to be the title of my roommate's autobiography.
