“I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou: Protagonist, “Marguerite,” is called “Maya” on the back cover and mostly called “Maya” in Wikipedia


It is evidently so absurd that a memoir by “Maya” has a protagonist named “Marguerite” that neither the publisher (back cover) (1) nor the public (2) believed its eyes when reading the actual text.


I will discuss this further when I have finished the book.
