Name that Tune

Yesterday the Man Booker Longlist was announced. This is one of my favorite book lists as it usually includes a wide range of selections. The dozen includes two authors I have previously read: Peter Carey (his comma-less True History of the Kelly Gang) and David Mitchell (Cloud Atlas). The titles of the lucky 13 (not an error) are interesting: C by Tom McCarthy, The Finkler Question by Howard Jacobson, and The Stars in the Bright Sky by Alan Warner to name a few. What's in a name? Sometimes more than you think.
