1943年、2人の詩人がモダニズム文学を嘲笑するために「アーン・マレー」という架空の作家を創作した。彼らの欺瞞は編集者のマックス・ハリスを騙し、『アングリー・ペンギンズ』誌の記念碑的な特集号を生むこととなったが、やがて真実が明らかになった。
ジェームズ・マコーリーとハロルド・スチュワートは1943年のある一日でアーン・マレーという人物をでっち上げた。彼らはマレーの経歴と17編の詩を捏造し、架空の妹の名義で『アングリー・ペンギンズ』誌のマックス・ハリスのもとへ郵送した。ハリスはこれらの詩を本物と信じ込み、1944年秋号で特集を組んだ。同号には序文に加え、シドニー・ノーランによる表紙画も掲載されていた。
