Contrarybollix asked this question about The Heart's Invisible Furies:
Where in West Cork is Skull? How could Fidel Castro send cigars to Ireland in 1952? How could Pompidou be a former French president in 1959? How was Lady Chatterley's Lover available to an Irish teenager in 1959?

In one of the early chapters, Cyril sees Charles reading "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich" by Solzhenitsyn. The chapter recounts events in 1952.
Quite a feat for Charles since Solzhenitsyn didn't publish the book until 1962. Either this is monstrously sloppy writing and editing or the author doesn't care and is only searching for effect.
Very disappointing.(less)
