"Lest we imagine that the publishing industry went to hell only after James Frey and J.T. Leroy clambered on board, here comes Lasse Hallstr&amp;ouml;m to remind us of a literary dustup emblematic of a much earlier nadir for American mendacity. The Hoax parses the rise and fall of faker Clifford Irving &amp;#151; a stalled minor writer who shot to fame when he claimed to have been approached by the notoriously reclusive aviation billionaire Howard Hughes to write his memoirs &amp;#151; as a symptom of that other lying decade, the 1970s."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
