Hemingway’s Sons Win Right To Works

Associated Press

Ernest Hemingway’s three sons have won the right to approve and benefit from future sale of work that was unpublished when his fourth wife died in 1986.

The writings were left to the Hemingway Foundation by Mary Hemingway. The sons, by Hemingway’s previous wives, sued the foundation when it claimed it owned some of the overseas rights.

The material includes excised chapters from “A Farewell to Arms” and a chronicle titled “The African Journal.”

State Judge Edward Greenfield said the material left by Mrs. Hemingway was subject to the same rights that a 1983 agreement provides for the sons: John Hemingway of Ketchum, Idaho, and Patrick and Gregory, both of Bozeman, Mont.
