I'm thinking of a name for my book and like the sound of, 'The Fugazi of Room 39,' (Room 39 being a government body in Korea) but being perfectly honest was sure if it made sense. I understand fugazi to mean a fake or fraudulent show but was looking for peoples opinion if it actually made sense.
It makes sense to me. I have to say I've never used the word in any other connotation than as an equivalent to 'fubar', but you are using it in it's truest sense.
@mammamaia. I think you might be surprised. There was a very influential rock band that named their album Fugazi,. There exists even now a band that goes by that name, and it's also the name of a type of landmine.
Yeah, I was going to say that my only connection with the word is through the band of the same name, of which I was quite enamored for a time.
I really like Fish's lyrics. They came at a time when when the superficial New Romantic era was in it's heyday and in the wake of the Falklands war. Coleridge and Melville even get a head nod.
Never did get into the sound of the New Romantics period. I went right from ABBA as a kid to New Order. My love for New Order and their prior incarnation, Joy Division was pathological. From there I moved to Germany and traded my New Order needle for a deeper injection of FRONT242 and Nitzar Ebb, and.... ah, youth.
I always loved marillion, fish wad genius, too many greats to mention but I still have the cd, fugazi - and what's really weird is, when I saw this title post I read fugazi in fish's accent because the double cd is live!
Hi, welcome to the forum. Is the story written? I think that title is intriguing enough for a person to pick up the book and read the synopsis. Without knowing the story it's hard to say if it fits the book or not.
Yes the book is finished and i'm about to send it out. I had it as 'Room 39' to begin with but thought 'The Fugazi of Room 39,' sounded more intriguing.
