..... and that was 8 years ago.
I've run across folk who truly believe that John Follain's book is the actual, definitive account of "A Death in Italy." The problem with that book is its sources, and the fact that the 2011 acquittal by the Hellmann court is merely a short coda at the end.
It knows nothing of the 2013 ISC reversal of the Hellmann sourt, it knows nothing of the 2014 re-conviction of the pair, and (obviously) it knows nothing of the eventual 2015 ISC annulling of all the convicting courts.
Yet Follain is still being quoted as if it is the main source of information. Add to that, that Follain is nowhere to be seen these days - and is lucky that he's not been excoriated like Barbie Nadeau was in the Winterbottom film, or Nick Pisa was in the NetFlix documentary.
Consider that Follian's account is infinitely superior to Darkness Descending.... and yet people still quote from that.
Those who are left, that is.
