Here’s an Actual Nightmare: Naomi Wolf Learning On-Air That Her Book Is Wrong
Please read the article (link above – takes about 3 minutes). I am actually very curious about your thoughts on this.
- Was this just poor research?
- Did the author allow her agenda to affect how she interpreted information?
- The publisher stated “Despite this unfortunate error we believe the overall thesis of the book Outrages still holds.” Do you agree with this?
- If a significant portion of any non-fiction book is based on incorrect information, should it still be published? If it has already been published, should the book be recalled in some way? FYI – The book has already been released in the U.K. and is scheduled to be released in the U.S. on June 18, 2019.
- What should be done in cases like this when false information is provided to the public as fact? The author has indicated she will look into her research and make necessary corrections. Is that enough?
These are some of the questions that popped into my head when I read the article. I’m curious was others think. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the article or any of he questions I posed. I may not respond to every comment – I anticipate that this one might generate a lot of dialogue.
