Ex:

"Goodmorning, Lakeisha."

Why do people title stuff like that?

Still not very clear what you mean. Greeting someone then saying their name? I do that irl, do you not?

As an appearance in a book it probably has a dual function as naturalistic dialogue and letting the reader know which character is being spoken to, if it hasn't been mentioned.

>Goodnight Punpun

>Good morning, Mr. Mandela.

>There are titles that say Goodbye to people: Mr. Chips, Columbus, Picasso, Sister Disco, Mickey Mouse, Judge Lynch, Descartes. And Goodbye… to places: Berlin, Europe, Los Angeles, New York, Venice, Earth.

>They are of varying qualities. This is definitely judging a book by its title, but I think I’d rather read Death in Venice more so than Goodbye to Venice, which sounds like it might be a Weekly Reader version of Mr. Mann’s big/little write.

>Goodbye Blue Monday

>Goodbye Janette

>Goodbye Lenin

>Goodnight Sweatheart

>Goodbye Lover

>Goodbye America

>Goodbye Bafana

>Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence

Off the top of my head those are some examples.

Oh, okay. Normally I'd chalk it up to a lack of creativity but that would toss Roth and Oshima into that pile. Even the intelligent and creative aren't immune to trends, though. The list of titles with the formula "American X" is too long to fit on the internet.

>Roth and Oshima

Who?

And yes but why follow the trend?

What can possibly be so enticing about titles like that.

Philip Roth and Nagisa Oshima, author of and director of, respectively, Goodbye Columbus and Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence.

Maybe it just sells. As a consumer I'd rather see "American Hustle" than "Hustle" and I'd rather read "American Pastoral" than just "Pastoral"

Ah got it.

And frankly I don't see much of a difference for the titles, I'd read "Happy Halloween, Christine." and "Christine." if it's all the same to me, we're also going off the assumption that titles define a book when for the most part the cover does.
