It was a kind of dark humor that was typical of the upcoming writers
like Kurt Vonnegut and Bruce Jay Friedman and, on a more sophisticated
level, Vladimir Nabokov, who was a big influence.
I assume everyone here knows that Fagen and Becker took the name not
from any of these authors but from Burroughs. And Veruca Salt took
theirs from Roald Dahl. But if you did want to use a VN allusion, what
name would you give your rock group?
