An early 1900s version of a Kindle!
What a delightful thing.
Fascinating concept! I want one. If only they could find the lost trunk with all of his early manuscripts and carbons.
One claim has it that this is that same trunk. However, my understanding was that Hemingway found it himself in 1944 and "A Moveable Feast" was the ultimate result of that find. I know that Hadley mislaid a lot of typescripts etc when she joined him by train on one of the early skiing trips (when the "sharks were circling"). These were never recovered, I believe. "A Moveable Feast" is a valuable read (mostly for honing the skill of writing vignettes), though controversial for the relatively recent re-edit by a grandson (watering down comments about his grandmother), and also for the chapter on Scott Fitzgerald's quest to find out if "size really does matter".
