William Woys Weaver has a tendency to write as much fiction as documented history, the Shah M tomato being a case in point. This tendency is not 'appreciated' (in both senses but not at the same time) by many readers of his publication.
That and his failure to cite critical sources or defer credit make me cautious when hearing his name given as reference.
Jennifer, who was working for the Toronto Hysterical Board when the WWW book came out, omitting mention of a few sources, much to their dismay.
PS Ask Carolyn or Craig about the Shah.
