"A Night Without Armor" is not a mistake. Jewel said in her interview on The View that she writes every night, and that when she writes, it is her most vulnerable time, when she puts private thoughts and insights, etc, out onto the page. "A NIGHT Without Armor" IS the appropriate title. It's a sort of play on words, and it's about her writing time, not really about a "knight". Besides, I'm sure that publishing compnaies, etc, would have gone over every inch of the book a zillion times and not missed anything as important as the whole meaning of the title.

Hi Maxmouze, (and everybody else... :) My impression of the book's title, A Night Without Armor, was that Night was the proper spelling. (NB: I just bought it tonight, and I haven't had a chance to read it yet, so if there's anything inside the book that contradicts what I'm about to say, please feel free to let me know...:) Anyway, my take on it is this - Aside from it being a nice play on words (most people probably would assume "night" was "knight", if they haven't seen the book title somewhere) there's this: everybody needs a little "armor" to function in the world, some sort of defenses and separation from the world around them, in order to make it through a day without going completely nuts. What I figured it meant was, the book represents a little bit of time where Jewel let the defenses down, and let what was underneath show through. (One night isn't really a long time, in the grand scheme of things, after all...) So, it's a Night (short period of time) Without Armor (some defenses)... in essence, a sort of baring of the soul (which I think also fits in with the idea of poetry, at least in it's best forms...) Plus, I think that *somebody* at HarperCollins' would have noticed, and asked, "Hey, shouldn't there be a -K- in that word?" It is, after all, a pretty major part of the packaging of the book, and could be pretty embarassing if they misspelled it. Sort of like them trying to sell the book "Hart of Darkness", or "The Profit". :) Now, maybe I'm wrong, and I'm smoking all sorts of crack here. But that's my take on why the title "A *N*ight Without Armor" is the correct spelling... take it or leave it. :) If anybody else has another theory, and thinks I'm wrong, feel free to jump in and say so... I'd be curious to hear other interpretations.

Ok, obviously, many of you haven't been paying attention to Alan. He told everyone before the book came out about the title. The title can be taken two different ways you could read A Knight Without Armour (Armour=protective gear) (Knight without shields n junk? make sense?) Or you could say it like a night without armour (armour also means love) (make sense now?) Hope this makes the foggy vision a tad bit clearer Love Ya Long Time, Lora ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 04 Jun 1998 00:53:30 -0400 From: Mike Connell Subject: re: Typo makes a BIG booboo?

Well, she explained the title of >the book of being vulnerable and unprotected. So doesn't she mean "A KNIGHT >WITHOUT ARMOR"? That is vulnerability. Perhaps she didn't know about the >silent K. No, she meant "a night without armor", IMO. It's gotta be one of two things....either it's the way that AmySue said it: >that she writes every night, and that when she writes, it is her most >vulnerable time, when she puts private thoughts and insights, etc, out onto >the page. or, as in MY theory....being that the way Jewel is obsessed about hotdogs in her songs (hotdogs being mentioned in many of her songs including Who Will Save Your Soul and Silver Lining), that if she suffered through a night without armor hotdogs, she would then be the most vulnerable, and thus be in the creative state, again as Amy said, "when she puts private thoughts and insights, etc, out onto the page" ;-) Either way, "night" has to be right.
