A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT EDITING: Given that it's apparently Authorial Intent Week at ALOTT5MA, I think we need to also need to discuss the interesting story that appeared in the NYT earlier this week asking about what version of several of Raymond Carver's stories is the "right" one. The comparison that appeared alongside the story makes the point clearly--basically, it appears Carver's editor substantially increased the ambiguity of Carver's endings. Now, Carver's widow wants to publish the "original" versions, but the publisher (who owns the copyright to the stories) objects. Any thoughts on the controversy from the ThingThrowers, as it raises several interesting legal and authorial questions?
