Singlton Example

[phikal]

In the "Singleton Set" section it says:

The set of books written by the American writer Harper Lee and published during her lifetime is a singleton set - she has published just one novel.

Which isn't quite true, since 2015 she published "Go Set a Watchman".

I know this is being pedantic and not the point of the explanation, but I guess it could confuse someone who knows a lot more about American literature than set theory.

Haha, well to my defense this was written before 2015.

What are some examples of writers with one published book?

Here is a list I found[0]:

• "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë,
• " The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde,
• "Gone with the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell,
• "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger,
• "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath

But maybe there are other singleton examples that are just as intuitive? A shed has a single room, so the set of rooms is a singleton? A unicycle has a single wheel, so the set of wheels is a singleton? Every country has a single capital, so the set of capitals are always a singleton by necessity?
