Off to the Eric Carle Museum today for tomorrow's program; let's hope the weather holds out! [UPDATE: It's not going to. The event has been canceled and will be rescheduled.]
Just read that the multimillion-dollar-lawsuit-inspiring Misha, a Holocaust memoir in which the author claimed to have been sheltered by wolves for a time, has been exposed as a complete hoax. ['nother update: Globe reporter David Mehegan has more on the story.]
Stick to the path, she said. But she didn't have Buster with her this morning. Dragging her off the path. Into the deceptively spring-like woods that concealed floors of ice. Causing me to fall three times (seven, if you count the slips I kept having trying to arise from the last one). I'm thinking of buying stock in Advil. Or at least better shoes. Oh so helpfully, the little bastid (as we say in these parts) barked at me from a safe distance. Good dog.
Hope they call you - the website says that you've been postponed!!
So preteen girl cannot traverse Europe in the middle of World War Two because she's protected by a pack of wolves? Who could have seen that as a hoax?
Rats! I was so looking forward to tomorrow!
Yeah, I was wondering why the living with wolves thing wasn't a red flag when this was published.
I'm reminded of an email a friend sent me about a man who had been dead at his office desk for five days before anyone noticed. I sent my friend the link to Snopes (it's an old hoax) and she replied that it had seemed ironically apt enough to be true. So like that, I think we want to believe that miracles walk hand in hand with horror.
The publishing history explains the acceptance of the book. Small vanity press issues the book in USA, fact of American publication validates it with a European publisher who publishes and sells MANY COPIES; success of the foreign edition gives it credibility here (must be true, it's sold xxx million copies in Europe) So it reurns to USA with mutually assured credibility.
I was interested by the comment in the first link that said that the book sold well oversees, but hadn't sold well in the U.S. because there was no marketing campaign, which sort of implies that marketing campaigns make a HUGE difference in sales. Is that a hoax, too?
