Herman Melville wrote Moby Dick. He was such an overlooked nobody that when he died, his obituary reported his name as Henry Melville.

That’s bullshit, seriously. Herman Melville wrote an 800 page novel that was a parable for the horrors of the whaling industry. He wasn’t overlooked or left for dead - he was an impassioned man when he was alive, thats all that mattered.

Hell, I hope that when I’m dead someone calls me Henry.
