Irrelevant trivia: The Man Who Folded Himself was originally titled The Man Who Fucked Himself, but the publisher wouldn't go for it.
Irrelevant trivia, part two: there's also a novel by Christopher Morley called The Man Who Made Friends With Himself. It would be rather fun to have a lot of titles beginning The Man Who... shelved together -- I just tried a search at the University of Washington library and got, among much else:
The man who accused the king of killing a fish : the biography of Narin Phasit of Siam (1874-1950) Man who also made steel The man who ate a goose : a play in three acts The man who ate death : an anthology of contemporary Serbian stories The man who ate his boots : the tragic history of the search for the Northwest Passage The man who ate the 747 The man who ate the money The man who ate the popomack : a tragi-comedy of love in four acts The man who beats the S & P : investing with Bill Miller Man who became a fish A man who became a savage a story of our own times The man who became an eagle : a Haida legend Man who became Sherlock Holmes The man who believed he was king of France a true medieval tale The man who believed he was king of France : a true medieval tale The man who believed in the code of the West Man who bought America The man who bought himself : the story of Peter Still The man who broke into Auschwitz a true story of World War II ---etc., also
The woman who ate python & other stories The woman who battled for the boys in blue. Mother Bickerdyke; her life and labors for the relief of our soldiers. Sketches of battle scenes and incidents of the sanitary service Woman who came at six o'clock The woman who can't forget : the extraordinary story of living with the most remarkable memory known to science : a memoir The woman who censored Churchill The woman who cooked her husband The woman who could not die The woman who could not live with her faulty heart Woman who danced The woman who dared
