Hemingway Left His Moveable Feast The Way He Wanted It

Author A.E. Hotchner, who delivered Ernest Hemingway’s manuscript of “A Moveable Feast” to publisher Charles Scribner Jr., writes that Scribner’s new “bowdlerized version” of the book is the result of a “frivolous incursion,” as well as a false assertion, by a Hemingway grandson. Contrary to the grandson’s claim, at Hemingway’s death the manuscript was not in shards but ready for publication.
