A Belated April Fools' Celebration of Literary Hoaxery
In honor of April Fools Day, HuffPo put out a list of the most enthralling literary hoaxes in history. We were pleasantly surprised to your humble Fishie’s LA Weekly story “Navahoax,” which outed “Navajo” memoirist Nasijj as a white, failed pornographer from Michigan, mentioned on the list.
Other hoaxes of note mentioned: JT LeRoy, Margaret B. Jones and Clifford Irving, who forged interviews and documents for a biography of notorious recluse Howard Hughes.
