商品簡介
In October 1943, the young and successful Australian literary editor Max Harris received a package of poems by a recently deceased poet, Ern Malley, forwarded to him by his sister Ethel.
Convinced he had hit upon the work of a Modernist genius, Harris published Malley's poems in his magazine, Angry Penguins. With copies despatched around the world and grand claims surrounding publication, Harris had no idea of the events that lay in store, the consequences of which would haunt the literary landscape for generations.
Michael Heyward's compelling account of perhaps the most famous literary hoax of the twentieth century reproduces in their entirety the seventeen poems published as The Darkening Ecliptic in the magazine, Angry Penguins.
