Hemingway's friend A.E. Hotchner recounted in the New York Times in 2009 that Louis Vuitton had made a trunk specially for Hemingway in the 1920s In 1956, Hotchner and Hemingway were having lunch at the Ritz with the hotel's chairman, Charles Ritz, who reminded Hemingway that the hotel had been storing the trunk in the basement of the hotel since 1930. Among the racing forms, menus, and clothes, Hemingway found his notebooks from the time. He had them transcribed and worked them into the book that became A Moveable Feast while in Cuba, and later in Idaho. The book was published after his suicide, and contains portraits, many unflattering, of Gertrude Stein, Ford Madox Ford, and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
