The Week contest: Dead or alive

Last week's question: A court in Romania has ruled that a 63-year-old man whose wife had him declared legally dead after 10 years abroad remains dead even though he returned and argued in person that he was very much alive. If this man were to write a book about his plight, what could he call it?
