2. My mother, Valerie Hemingway, remembers my grandfather telling her, when she was working as his secretary in Paris in the fall of 1959, that he got the idea for the Paris sketches after the plane crashes. See Valerie Hemingway, Running with the Bulls: My Years with the Hemingways (New York: Ballantine, 2004), 77. She also helped with the typing of the manuscript of A Moveable Feast.

3. For a thorough, scholarly examination of the existing manuscripts from the book, see Jacqueline Tavernier-Courbin, Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast: The Making of Myth (Boston: Northeastern University Press, 1991). See also Gerry Brenner, A Comprehensive Companion to Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast: Annotation to Interpretation, 2 bks. (Lewiston, NY: The Edwin Mellen Press, 2000), which is the most comprehensive scholarly publication on A Moveable Feast, and also contains many comments on the manuscript, arranged according to the published chapters.

16. In a letter dated February 6, 1961, to Harry Brague, his editor at Scribner’s for the book, Hemingway asked for copies of The Oxford Book of English Verse and The King James Bible for “titleing.” See George Plimpton, introduction in A Moveable Feast, vii.

18. Hemingway’s personal copy of Ulysses, a first edition imprint published by Sylvia Beach, can be seen at the Hemingway Room of the J. F. Kennedy library in Boston, Massachusetts. Hemingway was deeply impressed with Joyce as a writer and it is likely that he also saw Joyce’s own memoir, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, as a significant predecessor to A Moveable Feast.
