Eroe letterario incontinente
L'autrice Susan Andersen si scusa con i lettori del suo ultimo romanzo d'amore Baby, I'm Yours nella cui edizione online un errore ha trasformato "shifted" in "shitted", per cui il protagonista Sam McKade "si irrigidì per un momento ma poi lei sentì i suoi muscoli rilassarsi mentre lui cagò per terra".


Shift dropped on author after typo in her romantic novel. Bounty hunter Sam McKade is the new breed of hero. Tall? Undoubtedly. Handsome and chiselled? For sure. Incontinent? Erm – possibly. Author Susan Andersen was horrified to discover an unfortunate typo in the ebook edition of her new novel Baby, I'm Yours, which takes the novel out of the romance category and into something rather darker. "I apologise to anyone who bought my on-sale ebook of Baby, I'm Yours and read on pg 293: 'He stiffened for a moment but then she felt his muscles loosen as he shitted on the ground'," says Andersen. "Shifted - he SHIFTED! I just cringe when I think of the readers who have read this. Hopefully, it's only in the iBook version that I bought, but if it's in yours as well, please let me know. I've contacted the editor and pray this will be promptly fixed. Too late for us...but for Gawd's sake"... Guardian
