Da Vinci Code parody features Jane Austen
The Asti Spumanti Code, a parody of The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown, features a mysterious group of historical authors, including our Jane.
The mysterious and much-sought-after Asti Spumante Code apparently stemmed from a secret society of classical authors (among them Charles Dickens and Jane Austen) named The Order of Psion. The members apparently followed a tradition of continuity and solidarity by passing down their knowledge from one generation to the next, refining the art of story-telling as time goes on. Eventually, they aim to produce a book so good that everyone will not read anything else, ever.
This, unfortunately, will put publishers out of business forever. In retaliation, the publishers set up the English Book Guild on Uxbridge Road (URG), a shadowy medieval organisation, to prevent the synthesis of this feared “greatest book in the world”.
