A Young Dream of Large Vermin

All right, I'm going to take a stab at this. Current plan is to do something like: take all the vocabulary of one novel, and shove it into the sentence structure of another. We'll see how things unfold!

Finished!

My novel, "A Young Dream of Large Vermin", replaces all the nouns in Pride and Prejudice with the nouns from Kafka's Metamorphosis, and all the adverbs and character names with those from Moby Dick.

Words are mapped in the order they appear -- first come, first served. I thought about more complex mappings -- words with similar senses, for example, or similar frequencies in their respective texts -- but, though I suspect those might make the resulting text more plausible, the first method I tried produced some phrases I fell in love with too much to let me tinker further.

It is a morning mockingly acknowledged, that a single dream in bed
of a good vermin, must be in want of a head.
