This is an article no writer (accomplished, erstwhile or otherwise)
should miss. It was written first as a commentary upon the recent
release of the newly redacted, and therefore highly controversial,
latest edition of the Hemingway memoir, "A Moveable Feast". In other
words, the Feast has just become a whole lot more "moveable" than many
would have supposed, or appreciated.

The most disturbing account is that of the apotheosis of the Carver
corpus, as it is here reported that in some cases so much as 80% of
the original text of a story had been cut by the author's editor,
raising the classic old "To Tell the Truth" TV quiz show question,
"Will the Real Raymod Carver Please Stand Up?"
The article is dynamite and is written by Sarah Churchwell in the
Guardian, on-line . . .
