- A “The Setting Sun,” by Osamu Dazai
- B “The Pursuit of Love,” by Nancy Mitford
- C “The Diary of a Young Girl,” by Anne Frank
- D “Tales of the South Pacific,” by James A. Michener
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
From Ruth Franklin’s review of the 2018 visual adaptation of Anne Frank’s diary:
Thus the outcry that greeted the discovery that Otto, in putting together a manuscript of the “Diary” for publication in 1947, had deleted whole passages in which Anne discussed in graphic terms her developing sexuality and her criticism of her mother, and the excitement when, in 1995, a “Definitive Edition” appeared, restoring much of the deleted material.
