    Default Famous Errata in literature

    There is in Bolano 2666 a passage about classic errata in literature, i would have copied them here if i had a paper copy (mine was audio).
    Could someone with a proper copy find it ? they really were very good.

    I can sort of remember the one of Stendhal "His hands in is back he was pacing the garden reading a book"

    I found this but not has interesting
