Speaking of the The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym. I read of a strange coincidence between that book, and the real life shipwreck of the Mignonette that happened some 50 years after the novel was written. The name of the person eaten after the Mignonoette shipwreck was a cabin boy named Richard Parker. I believe that that was the same name of the character eaten in the book. I wonder what the odds are on that happening.
