It smacks of the estate trying to wring every last dime out of its commodity, especially as his work is entering the public domain in some countries. Hemingway has never been prolific as since his death. His list of posthumous works:
(1964) A Moveable Feast
(1969) The Fifth Column and Four Stories of the Spanish Civil War
(1970) Islands in the Stream
(1972) The Nick Adams Stories
(1985) The Dangerous Summer
(1986) The Garden of Eden
(1987) The Complete Short Stories Of Ernest Hemingway
(1999) True at First Light
I'll make an exception for
A Moveable Feast (full disclosure: I'm reading it now), but the bulk is repackaged short stories and novels that took a LOT of editing to give them any coherence.
RIP, Papa!
