Howard Hughes: The Autobiography
Irving Clifford
Clifford Irving, whose scheme to publish a phony autobiography of billionaire Howard Hughes created a sensation in the 1970s and stands as one of the all-time literary hoaxes. Irving served 17 months in federal prison for fraud after Hughes emerged to condemn the work as a fabrication. The bogus autobiography wasn’t published until 1999 when it was printed as a private edition. Time magazine dubbed Irving “Con Man of the Year” in a 1972 cover story.
