Hanging Munchkin set for Stage Debut
Status: True
The well-known and much maligned Wizard of Oz urban legend – that of a scene in the film where one can ‘see’ one of the munchkins hanging himself at the back of the set – is the centre theme of a show opening in Dublin this week. Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh has focused the play, depicting the lives of the actors who portrayed the munchkins, around the premise that the legend is true.The BBC quotes him as saying:
"It's a persistent myth - the point about myths is they don't have to be true, they don't have to be facts, but people need to believe in them. We've taken that as a starting point, that that myth is actually true and the Munchkin has actually hung himself."

Is the author's poor grammar an indicator of his writing abilty! :D

The down side to the information age seems to be an increased acceptance of "Pick your own truth", not to mention a much greater selection of "truths".

If u ever try to read his books u will be more surprised by his writing style than his grammar. He writes words and dialogues phonetically with a Scottish accent. U spend more time deciphering the words than following the story.

Merve, I'm Scottish, and it still takes me a while to know what he's talking about.
