Erratum notice: JML 43.1



In "A Bedpan of Poop: The Influence of Silent Screen Comedy on Dos Passos’s Manhattan Transfer" by Larry Durst in JML 43.1 (Fall 2019), the author inadvertently truncated two sources from the works cited.

The following works should have been included on page 18:

Trotter, David.  Cinema and Modernism. Blackwell, 2007.

Vargas Llosa, Mario. Making Waves: Essays. Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, 2001.
