    Even a cursory glance should've caught most of those lies. Let alone a basic edit.

    The Post editors take "asleep at the wheel" to a whole new level here.

    Well, of course parts of it are made up. That's just a common narrative technique nowadays:

    “Primates of Park Avenue,” a memoir on the secluded lives of Upper East Side wives, set off a rush of skeptical commentary over what appeared to be the outré rituals, like “wife bonuses,” of New York’s wealthy elite.

    On Sunday, after a report that there were factual errors in the book, the publisher, Simon & Schuster, said it would append a note to future editions of the book, written by the social researcher Wednesday Martin, clarifying that some of the memoir’s details and chronologies were changed.

    “It is a common narrative technique in memoirs for some names, identifying characteristics and chronologies to be adjusted or disguised, and that is the case with ‘Primates of Park Avenue,’ ” said Cary Goldstein, vice president and executive director of publicity at the publisher.

    “A clarifying note will be added to the e-book and to subsequent print editions.”

    That looks a bit like the scene:
