In other news, check out Louis Bayard's amusing interoffice memo from the in-house counsel at Erewhon Publishing, "Attention, all you memoir fabulists," suggesting some liability-avoiding corrections to well-known autobiographical works, e.g.:
'"Speak, Memory" by Vladimir Nabokov
'The author loses his first butterfly at Vyra, Russia, finds it again 40 years later in Colorado. Average life span for a butterfly is 20 to 40 days. Suggest changing "butterfly" to "giant tortoise."'
