HIT: Satire titles

[Sandra Parks <sparks@rica.net>]

Here's the responses from my query about satiric titles. Sorry for the
delay!

A Modest proposal by Jonathan Swift

You might try the works of Joseph Heller, Evelyn Waugh, or William
Burroughs. These authors were suggested by Laurie Henry in The Fiction
Dictionary

"Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut

Dr. Seuss books; Mad Magazine and others like it; Andy Rooney? or is he
more
humor; Animal Farm by George Orwell; Politically Correct Bedtime
Stories;
Doonesbury; Shoe; Pogo, Calvin & Hobbes; Far Side; Shel Silverstein; Art

Buchwald.

I recall from my Childrens Literature class, The Pushcart War is
considered
satire.  So is Gulliver's Travels, but the kids would need to know the
political situation of that time to "get" the satirical comments.

I really like to use the political cartoons from the daily paper. They
certainly are satirical, and can spark some interesting debate, too!

 Douglas Adams - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - this has
several sequels: The Restaurant at the End of the Universe and Goodbye
and
Thanks for all the Fish, among others.

 Joseph Heller - Catch-22

 John Irving - A Prayer for Owen Meany

The Screwtape Letters_ , by C.S. Lewis?
