Novels & Major Fiction Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

East of Eden (novel) — The novel's setting does not include Connecticut and Massachusetts; the story is set entirely in the Salinas Valley, California, with brief mentions of other locations but no substantive scenes in Connecticut or Massachusetts.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull — The entry states the book was first published in 1970, but the book form was published in 1972, and the timeline for reaching number one on the New York Times Bestseller List is incorrect: the book was published in 1972 and became a bestseller that same year,

Jude the Obscure — The novel was Hardy's 11th and last published novel is incorrect; it was his 13th published novel.

Jude the Obscure — The entry claims Hardy said 'Jude the Obscure' contained less of his own life than any other book, but he actually said it contained more of his own life.
