A novel once called Disgrace
The full title read "A novel once called Disgrace and badly written by an untalented politruk whose name history has not recorded, now substantially reviewed, fixed and improved by yours truly and actually worth reading for the first time in its existence", but it ran long.
It's not just that I've not sought the permission of the hack in question to modify his work. It's that I am firmly convinced the original is exactly that -- work -- and that I see no reason either the original or its author should be remembered.
I'm engaging in literary genocide, if you will, a sort of black-on-white holocaust. You should try it sometime, it's fun.
I intend to publish the result feuilleton-style over the course of however long it takes me, but for the reader's convenience I will eventually collect all the chapters in a list here below :

Disgrace - It is raining.

Disgrace - At first they do not
Disgrace - Don't the dogs get
Disgrace - Well, you're welcome
Disgrace - The house is just as
Disgrace - The sign outside the clinic
Disgrace - Are they all going to die
Disgrace - Three men are coming
Disgrace - Lucy returns

Disgrace - His spell with Lucy
Disgrace - Years ago, when he lived
For the stat collectors, it went from 4`560 lines / 67`049 words / 355`343 characters to 66`991 words / 374`397 characters ; and from nothingness to wholedom.
Three days, with time to spare.
