what facts did mccandless overlook about his literary heroes, according to krakauer

Chris overlooked the fact that these men were not as authentic as their writings. Chris, for example, is obsessed with the book "Call of the Wild" by Jack Londen. Chris however, "Conveniently overlooked the fact that London himself had spent just a single winter in the North and that he'd died by his own hand on his California estate at the age of forty, a fatuous drunk, obese and pathetic." Chris's hero Thoreau had many visitors in his cabin retreat and did not live in complete solitude.
