La supercherie d'Ern Malley demeure le scandale littéraire le plus célèbre d'Australie

En 1943, deux poètes ont créé un écrivain fictif nommé Ern Malley pour se moquer de la littérature moderniste. Leur tromperie a dupé l'éditeur Max Harris et a donné lieu à une édition célèbre de la revue Angry Penguins avant que la vérité n'éclate.

James McAuley et Harold Stewart ont inventé Ern Malley au cours d'une seule journée en 1943. Ils ont fabriqué une biographie ainsi que 17 poèmes, puis ont envoyé l'œuvre à Max Harris de la revue Angry Penguins sous le nom d'une prétendue sœur. Harris a accepté les poèmes comme étant authentiques et leur a consacré le numéro de l'automne 1944, agrémenté d'une introduction et d'une peinture de couverture réalisée par Sidney Nolan.
