Facts We Get Wrong: 1) Leviathan Wakes is a novel written by two writers joined under the pen name James S.A. Corey. Marissa incorrectly states that this is one person, and also misses the S. initial. 
2) A copy of Vaslav Nijinksy's diary is available in full, without omissions previously made by his wife.
