From the New York Times:Book Review
Because of an editing error, a review on Page 10 of the Book Review today, about "Radical Innocent: Upton Sinclair," by Anthony Arthur and "Upton Sinclair and the Other American Century," by Kevin Mattson, misidentified the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1930. Although Upton Sinclair campaigned for the award, it was won by Sinclair Lewis. (Go to Article)
From the Chicago Tribune:
- In a promo on Page 1 of Sunday's Books section, Edgar Allan Poe's middle name is misspelled.The Tribune regrets the error.
I haven't done a scientific study on this, but I'd bet that Poe's middle name is the most often messed-up literary name in journalism. Anyone have a different candidate?
