I am curious about the title. We don't meet Dirk, nor see his agency, until almost half-way through the novel. In many respects the Holistic Detective Agency doesn't seem that important to the story. Dirk is important, yes, but the Agency not so much. I guess "
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" made for a more inspiring title than "
The Sofa in the Stairwell".
