The Va Dinci Cod
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Va Dinci Cod, written by British comedian Adam Roberts under the pen name Don Brine (a parody of Dan Brown,) is a parody of the New York Times Bestseller, The Da Vinci Code. The character names in the novels are reminiscent of the well-known characters: Sophie Nudivue (Sophie Neveu), Robert Donglan (Robert Langdon), and Curvy Tash (Bezu Fache).
[edit] The Story
The story of "The Va Dinci Cod" is much the same as that of "The Da Vinci Code". The difference is that they are searching for a cod (the fish) instead of the holy grail. The events in both books are almost the same but "The Va Dinci Cod" parodies all the events in "The Da Vinci Code"
Other parodies by Roberts:
- The Soddit. Orion/Gollancz, 2003. (Parody of The Hobbit.)
- The Sellamillion. Gollancz, 2003. (Parody of JRR Tolkien's The Silmarillion.)
