El engaño de Ern Malley perdura como el escándalo literario más famoso de Australia

En 1943, dos poetas crearon a un escritor ficticio llamado Ern Malley para burlarse de la literatura modernista. Su engaño engañó al editor Max Harris y dio lugar a una célebre edición de Angry Penguins antes de que saliera a la luz la verdad.

James McAuley y Harold Stewart inventaron a Ern Malley en el transcurso de un solo día en 1943. Fabricaron una biografía y 17 poemas, y luego enviaron el trabajo por correo a Max Harris en Angry Penguins bajo el nombre de una supuesta hermana. Harris aceptó los poemas como auténticos y les dedicó la edición de otoño de 1944, que incluía una introducción y una pintura de portada realizada por Sidney Nolan.
