Stinky Inky, Part VI: Carlin Romano's April Fools' Joke on His Philadelphia Inquirer Reade
Judging by his article, "Russia's culturati a pale imitation of worthies of 'Utopia,'" Carlin Romano and the editors of Philadelphia Inquirer have conspired to subject their readers to an infantile April Fools' Day joke. Thus, readers of the April 1, 2007 issue of the "Inky" might be forgiven, if, after reading Romano's review of Tom Stoppard's 3-part play, The Coast of Utopia, they had no better understanding of 19th century Russian intellectual history than they had before falling for his joke.
