Notfiction. Some aspects are questioned. And of course it is Wiki

Here’s the Wiki article on “The Long Walk”, which turned out to be fiction.

The Long Walk by Slawomir Rawicz (New York: Harper, 1956) was reprinted several times and even digitized. However, as I read it, I began to question the narrative. The writer told of surviving more than a week in the Gobi Desert in the summer without so much as taking a drink of water, and of meeting "abominable snowmen" in the Himalayas. By the time I finished, I was convinced that this was a work of fiction.
