Ernest Hemingway’s biographer, A.E. Hotchner, comments on a new “restored edition” of A Moveable Feast, revised by an heir. “All publishers, Scribner included, are guardians of the books that authors entrust to them. Someone who inherits an author’s copyright is not entitled to amend his work. There is always the possibility that the inheritor could write his own book offering his own corrections.” [New York Times]
