An entertaining clip from last year, in which Christopher Hitchens and Salman Rushdie have some fun with classic literature titles:

THE GEORGE CARLIN LETTERS: THE PERMANENT COURTSHIP OF SALLY WADE

George Carlin’s longtime love and “spouse without papers,” Sally Wade, celebrates their ten year courtship with a uniquely illustrated memoir titled THE GEORGE CARLIN LETTERS: THE PERMANENT COURTSHIP OF SALLY WADE (Gallery Books/Simon and Schuster- March 8, 2011).

THE GEORGE CARLIN LETTERS: THE PERMANENT COURTSHIP OF SALLY WADE is a collection of never-before-seen writings and artwork by the late great comedian (representing at least 1/3 of the text in the book), woven into Wade’s beautifully told chronicle of their life together. The book provides a rare glimpse into the man behind the legend.

George wrote to Sally daily-funny notes, heartfelt cards, postcards and love letters…he even started fights on paper; the title is taken from his very last note, which Sally found propped up on her computer upon returning from the hospital the day he died.

One of the greatest love stories ever told…hilariously, until the release of this book, no one but Sally has ever seen this side of George Carlin. And everyone is guaranteed to fall in love with both of them.
