== Reception == === Reactions to the 2009 edition === A.E. Hotchner alleged, among his other criticisms of the 2009 edition, that Seán Hemingway had edited it, in part, to exclude references to his grandmother (Hemingway's second wife Pauline Pfeiffer) that he found less than flattering.<ref name="Hotchner"/> On the 2009 edition, Hotchner said: <blockquote>"Ernest was very protective of the words he wrote, words that gave the literary world a new style of writing. Surely he has the right to have these words protected against frivolous incursion, like this reworked volume that should be called “A Moveable Book”.<ref name="Hotchner"/></blockquote> Other critics have found fault with some of Seán Hemingway's editorial changes.<ref>{{cite news |author=Massie, Allan |date=August 5, 2009 |url=http://www.spectator.co.uk/books/5244378/life-and-letters.thtml |title=Rewrites and Wrongs |work=The Spectator |access-date=February 16, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120329053638/http://www.spectator.co.uk/books/5244378/life-and-letters.thtml |archive-date=March 29, 2012 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}</ref> Irene Gammel wrote about the new edition: "Ethically and pragmatically, restoring an author's original intent is a slippery slope when the published text has stood the test of time and when edits have been approved by authors or their legal representatives." Pointing to the complexity of authorship, she concluded that “Mary's version should be considered the definitive one, while the 'restored' version provides access to important unpublished contextual sources that illuminate the evolution of the 1964 edition.”<ref>{{cite news|author=Gammel, Irene |date= August 21, 2009|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/books/a-changeable-feast/article1259835/ |title=A Changeable Feast|work=The Globe and Mail|access-date= February 16, 2013}}</ref>
