sarah_ovenall was in New York last week, she asked if I'd ever read The Mole People (by Jennifer Toth, 1993) and if I knew whether it was fact or fiction. I told her that a friend of mine had read it when it came out and said that huge portions of its detail about New York, above or below ground, was wrong, and as such I'd never had a strong incentive to read it.
Neil Gaiman's journal had a recent pointer to this page of debunkery, archived at The Web Archive. For those who care.
