to as "those SMUG copycats." Gebstadter's sixth book is called The Graced Tone of Clément: A la louange de la mélodie des mots, and is referred to in Hofstadter's book Le Ton beau de Marot: In Praise of the Music of Language. Hofstadter's corresponding book is in English despite its French title, and we may conjecture that Gebstadter's book is in French despite its English title. This is supported by the fact that this book was published not by Acidic Books but by the equally fictional and palindromic Éditions Noitide in Cahors, France. Gebstadter's seventh book is U Are an Odd Ball (Perth: Acidic Books, 2007), which is referenced in Hofstadter's I Am A Strange Loop.
