Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Tropic of Cancer (novel) — The 1961 U.S. edition does not include an introduction by Karl Shapiro titled 'The Greatest Living Author'; that introduction appeared in the 1962 edition.

Tropic of Cancer (novel) — The 1964 U.S. Supreme Court decision did not issue a full opinion declaring the book non-obscene; it summarily reversed the Florida Supreme Court's ruling that the book was obscene, effectively clearing it under the First Amendment.

Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair — The claim that the book is in the public domain in the United States as of 2020 is false; it remains under copyright.

Under the Volcano — The first known radio adaptation was by the BBC in 1959, but the novel had already been adapted for radio by the CBC in 1948.
