Hemingway's metafiction

How often do we spare any thought to the many rewritings an author may execute before he or she is satisfied enough for the work to finally be published. In this recent article from the New Yorker,   Ian Crouch examines the outside influences and the changes made by Hemingway as he worked and reworked The Sun Also Rises http://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/hemingways-hidden-metafictions

Sunday binding

Commission to bind a small log book for my husband's boat motor. This is the work in progress.  Final compilation is now in the  press to set and dry overnight. Today has been a damp one so drying will be longer than usual. I'm not a patient person but have learned that if I want it to succeed I have to wait!
