Ernest Hemingway's published works littered with errors, study claims

From The Guardian:

Ernest Hemingway’s published writings are riddled with hundreds of errors and little has been done to correct them, according to a forthcoming study of the legendary writer’s texts.

Robert W Trogdon, a leading scholar of 20th-century American literature, told the Guardian that Hemingway’s novels and short stories were crying out for editions that are “as accurate to what he wrote as possible” because the number of mistakes “ranges in the hundreds”. Although many are slight, he said, they were nevertheless mistakes, made primarily by editors and typesetters.

Trogdon argues that, with the exceptions of Under Kilimanjaro and A Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition, published in 2005 and 2009 respectively, no Hemingway book has been edited to preserve what he actually intended, unlike the writings of his contemporaries F Scott Fitzgerald and William Faulkner, which have been re-published in corrected versions.
