Ouch

Thursday, May 8, 2008
And I thought the Post's error was bad.
"A list of famous last words published in yesterday's editions of The Sun incorrectly attributed the authorship of Moby-Dick to Nathaniel Hawthorne. The novel was written by Herman Melville."
The Baltimore Sun, it seems, did not pass A.P. American Lit.

    such a painful correction. but it did inspire me to pick up a copy of andrew delbanco's melville biography, so i guess some good has come out of it (for me, anyway).
